7/10 Quilt of Valor Show

I usually like to get these shows up first thing in the morning... but this morning... got away from us! I had one kid that needed to do a 10 mile run, one needed to do 4 miles, one needed to get to swim practice. AND! they all let me know that we were out of food.... so apparently in between getting them to all that stuff ... I needed to get to the grocery store. They love to see me coming ;-)

So... how about a little evening inspirations?

I hope you will love these Quilts of Valor as much as their Veterans will!!

This first quilt was made by Sandra in Findley OH - Sandra blogs over at http://sewinpeace.blogspot.com/  She also sent in a bunch of tops that are now out for quilting!! You will love them too!

 The top picture is a close up of the blocks - below is the back.  I love this back!!! Thanks Sandra!

This quilt was made by Nancy in Colorado Springs, and quilted by Debbie. Nancy wrote the greatest journal to go with it. I know - the journals are sometimes scary - but she told a little about herself - her military history. Her husbands father, served in WWI and her father served in WWII - isn't that cool!

 She also told about how a mystery quilt works. I thought that was cool - a lot of our recipients are not familiar with quilts - so this is good!!

 Nancy also sent some pillowcases - Thanks so much!!

Pat P - who blogs at: http://bellcreekquilts.blogspot.com/ is quite prolific this time - SIX quilts came in from her!!! She is also a reader at Patchwork times and is participating in her QOV challenge!

This quilt is named Flower Charmer - Love it!!

This one is called Scrappy Patches. The Cheddar - oh la la... it just makes everything pop!!!

This one is called Boxed Rectangles - There are instructions for this block Here - I love her color choices!

This one is called Modified Rail Fence. So.... to be honest... when I saw it - I thought that it would look great in plaids too!!! ( I think I am becoming a plaid addict!)

Pat called this one Stars. That red star... totally makes the quilt for me!  It is so scrappy I just LOVE it!!

And the last quilt from Pat is called Framed Stars. Isn't it stunning with the yellow?  Pat - you did good girl!!

And from Adele D - My Modern Quilt of Valor maker. whom I adore, and LOVE LOVE LOVE her style!!! Seriously - someday Adele - I am tracking you down and quilting with you!!!

Check out this one from Adele! I swear - I stared at it for a really really long time - I just loved it!!

Those of you who know my obsession - will know that I might have taken a lot of pictures... ;-)

Quilters - these are so awesome!!! They are beautiful and are truly great gifts of love!!! Enjoy!!!
