If you are interested in seeing all the 2014 shows here is the link: 2014 Shows
and here is; 2013 and 2012 and 2011 and 2010 and our original projects and generic QOV posts before I figured out how to tag things ( I am still learning) and some labeled with just plain plain QOV - a little about our First Delivery and everything else - you are on your own *smile*
This new year will be tagged QOV 2015... so hold on.....
You are in for a Quilty Ride!
I love the smiles - and I love the way these quilts aid in the healing of our Veterans.
These two are active duty soldiers from our area.
This first quilt was made by Liz M in Colorado Springs - it was quilted by Jean J in Grand Junction.
They make a fantastic team!!
The next two Quilts are from Pat P - she blogs over at http://bellcreekquilts.blogspot.com/ and she is so talented - her use of scraps.... inspires me!! I have learned so much from studying her quilts.
And then we come to the Columbine Quilt Bee! They meet twice a month - and boy howdy - do they make some amazing quilts... The next four are from them.

I love it when I can share photos.
I really hope you can find your quilts in the photos.
Do know - that prior to presentations I re-read the labels ...and then I can tell the Veteran
all about who made the quilt and the team involved.
I really do
( I have that kind of memory when I am there.)
They are always SO amazed that someone went out of their way to make this for them.
Many of them remember a relative who quilted, and it just brings back good memories.
Good - Good is always a Great Healer.
The next 5 quilts were made: Pieced and Quilted by Nancy in Colorado. I LOVE her use of color!! She has the coolest quilt studio.... and... it's organized... I will be there someday!!

ReplyDeleteI just read your posts Original Projects and First Delivery - thank you for providing the links. So inspiring - anyone who thinks they can't make a quilt that is worthy just needs to see those 5th graders! And spending your time this way is SO worthwhile. :D
ReplyDeleteWOW!! Just WOW!! An amazing bunch of quilts! I hope to add one or two to your collection this year.

All great quilts!
ReplyDeleteNothing nicer than seeing those warm smiles! Thank you, both soldiers and quilter's.
ReplyDeleteSmiles here. Just look at these proud brave Americans.
ReplyDeleteLove all the quilts but love the smiles more! Great job to all the piecers and quilters! Going to make some of those quilts, too!
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are all so beautiful as are the smiles of those who receive them!
ReplyDeleteDo you think you can talk Nancy from Colorado into sharing some photos of her studio? I need affirmation that it IS possible to have one that's organized. :-)
Those quilts are all so fabulous but those happy smiles are even better.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing happy veterans with their equally happy quilts!
ReplyDeleteHappy smiles and beautiful quilts. Another perfect show!
