Design wall - and a little catch up

Last you heard from me - we were wet!!! And sadly the destruction only got worse! In our community there was a lot of loss, but a lot of rejoicing too - as we found out what could be saved, and what could be cleaned. One of our friends had flooding under his house - it was so strange to see... another lost theirs.

But on a good note - we have a great community - and lots of us spent the majority of the weekend doing clean up. And salvaging, and realizing how blessed we are.....

And then - I ran home- took a shower - and headed to our Quilt of Valor sew day. I was so tickled that so many showed up - because you all... it is NOT easy to get to town....

We had some new QOV'ers - it was so great to meet them - they joined right in, and didn't think we were crazy!! It was great!!

We put together 6 tops from the BLOCK DRIVE  - and had a grand old time! It was actually quite relaxing after our weekend!!

Cannot wait to see the six your group assembled. I love this one. Just how many ways can you turn those red/white/blue blocks!

Sorry for everything you and your friends and neighbors are going through right now. I can't wait to see photos of the quilts from the block drive all put together!

Very fun quilt up on the wall. Looking forward to seeing all 6 of the ones you've put together.

Hope things continue to dry out.

Glad you came through the flood ok. Those QOV blocks look good and I'm anxious to see how you arrange more. I plan to get my 20 blocks on their way to you this week.

It's wonderful to see a community pull together and help one another. The QOV blocks are really going great! Looking forward to seeing the pictures of the finished ones.
