Quilts of Valor 2014

Oh my Goodness!!! If you do not add to your Bucket list after seeing all these quilts.... let me know... I will be surprised!!

First - housekeeping ( okay Not the dusting and vacuuming stuff!)  A few have asked what the requirements for a Quilt of Valor are... and I so happen to have a page with all that info ... so ... here you go:

And now... on the the quilts.... if only housekeeping in real life was that easy....

 These first four quilts ( the one above, and the three below) are all pieced by Sue. Sue was gifted some blocks from a friend that wanted them all put into QOV's, and then Sue adds her own. She is such a talented piecer and Quilter!!! They were then bound by her sister Mary - team work!!



The next two were pieced and Quilted by Liz Taylor Davis - that gal is a wonderwoman!!


That light blue fabric just brings out both quilts - I Love it...and be sure to check out her quilting!



This quilt ( below) was made from the Moda Just One Star blocks. Kathy and Connie Pieced it.
And then a FABULOUS Teenager - Kelly - quilted it.  She did an awesome job!



And look!!! Some of our Block Drive Tops are getting finished!! This one was Quilted by Merrie Jones in Colorado - another wonderful Long arm Quilter.



And this one was Quilted by Kathy Fellbaum in Colorado - I think she had fun. AND!! She wasn't dizzy when she was done - bonus.  Thanks Kathy!!


Crystal Stewart quilted this one - she did a great job. This quilt was pieced by Susan S in NY - Thanks Crystal!!

And Ms Pat M. made and quilted this one. She probably doesn't know how much I love plaids... I just love this quilt!!!

I know that if you click on the pictures you can see them a little more close up. Thanks all you quilters who constantly help out - you guys are just awesome!!  I hope you can see some of your blocks in the block drive quilts!

LOVE the smiles as they are wrapped in their Quilts of Valor!!
