My Dear Harriet is one of my best partners in Crime....
she is a wonderful binder, encourager, and all around fun lady. and OH BOY -
can she yell ( her grand-kids run cross country with mine!)
She is part of a Military RV group, and she decided that a particular gentleman who had served in
*World War II
*Korea
and!!
*VietNam
Deserved a little recognition - I whole heartedly agreed!!
Here is the Quilt that Harriet Designed:
I quilted it
What a priveledge!!
The stars got swirlies
The center panel got a lot of echo quilting
Which apparently I did not get a picture of!
I was invited to the presentation - and I am so sad - I didn't get one picture!
But it was so cool.
This military group consisted of members of ALL branches of the military.
They did the *song* for each branch,
they did a POW/MIA ceremony
it gives me goosebumps just remembering.
And then I was asked to do the presentation with Harriet!
The best part !
The smiles and the tears
and the Hugs!!
For more finished Fridays head over to:
What a great way to start Memorial Day weekend!
