I made a few You tube videos of my long-arm machine, and talked a little about the quilts that I make. They soon figured out that I made Quilts of Valor, and I ended up telling them a TON about QOV!! The kids were super great, very attentive, and so polite!!
At their next meeting they convinced Ms Amy that they could take on making a Quilt of Valor as a group..... and so.... THEY DID!!
Ms. Amy, her daughter and her sister decided they wanted to finish the whole quilt. They rented time on a long-arm and quilted it themselves. They had such a great time!! And they did a fabulous job!
This will also be a Quilt of Valor - I was just so excited that I got the top completely finished before the end of the century!! We went to the Veterans Memorial and took a few pictures... it was fun!
The quilt the kids did is just wonderful! It was so nice of you to take the time to teach them all about the QOVs. It sounds like Ms. Amy is a wonderful teacher. The poem and stars are great as well. I'm sure the soldier that gets this quilt will really cherish it!
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I know it will be appreciated by someone who has earned this bit of recognition.
ReplyDeleteThree cheers to Ms. Amy, her daughter and the quilting group of kids. Keep up the great work kids. Your quilt is beautiful and will be great comfort to a healing warrior.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quilt the kids made - and they made memories for themselves that will last forever. Way to go, Miss Amy!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! QOV should use that poem...the authors need to copyright it. ;-) Thanks for sharing! Kudos to all involved!
ReplyDeleteWOW, those are some beauties! And I LOVE the poem. I wonder if the author would mind me swiping (borrowing) it to use on some of our QOV's?
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome! I absolutely love it! Great job kids! (And Ms Amy)!!!!
ReplyDeleteIs there a link to your youtube video? I think that would be fun to view? Good Job that you are doing Alycia and such dedicated quilters.
ReplyDeleteWhat a totally awesome quilt by the kids. Your strings quilt looks great, wonderful backdrop in that photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great extension of your original 5th graders program! The quilt is wonderful and will be treasured by someone special.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful QOV quilt. They did a fantastic job! Someone special will receive a special quilt!
