Quilts of Valor 2014 - Lots of of Eye Candy

Warning ** Picture Laden Post**

We have finished so many Quilts of Valor recently - I am so proud of all of us. And I am so grateful for these beautiful quilts to bring love to our Veterans!

Are you ready????  Got your coffee? Hot Chocolate??  Bowl of Cereal?? Here we go...........

First off... showing a little love! Don't you just love seeing these quilts wrapped around their shoulders? I just love that they do this!!  Reminds me of when my boys would play Super- Hero ( yes it was just on Sunday!!)

Our first quilt today comes from Ann and was quilted by Paula. Ann and Paula took their quilt to "The Quilt Store" in Broomfield and they got it to Kathy- who got it to me! Thanks to "The Quilt Store" for being a drop-off location for us!!  PS - They have an AWESOME store... I took Kevin the Quilter to check it out!

Next we have a string quilt that was a block of the month at my Quilt Guild. We think that Joan Quilted it - but we aren't entirely sure - so Joan.... Your getting credit for it ;-)

This one was made by Nancy A in Colorado. Nancy won the strips from a giveaway on the blog, and she sent it back to us - it was a little shy of the size so Mary added borders, and then Sandy D in Eaton Quilted it. Isn't that cool - team effort!!

I hope someone can help me out here. The quilt above... I lost the name who made it.... I blame spring break! It was quilted by Jan S of Colorado. Both Sandy and Jan are in our local guild and are great machine quilters! I appreciate their help.

This stack n whack!!  We were sent the colored pieces all cut out, and I layed a block out on my design wall. Mary M said she would really like to put it together - so she dug through our fabric stash and found the complementary fabrics... She stitched it up and Liz T.D  took it to quilt!  LOVE it!

This Quilt is one of our Block Drive Quilts!!  Aren't they so fun to see get put together? I really think Karen put this one together - but I have been known to get a little overwhelmed at our sew days.  Oh! it was quilted Liz T.D.

And again - another a Block Drive quilt! Quilted by Liz TD as well!. It is just so fun to see how people put them together!!

The next two quilts were Pieced by Marty O of Ft Collins!  So! The guild that Marty belongs to invited me to come see the quilts that they had made for Quilts of Valor. They were awesome ( Pics will be coming - Promise!!)  And Marty asked if I might have a connection to a Machine Quilter. Liz ( Bless her!!) said - oh sure - I'll get them done....

And Voila - She did!! Both of them!!!

Thanks to all the quilters that help out! This joint effort is so cool!!

Can you handle one more photo??

Can you??

Oh my  - the happiness.... the love.... the feeling of being cherished.
