Let's just start with the smiles shall we? This is at an event for Combat Veterans Cowboy Up This is just a fantastical program to help our Veterans with PTSD - so it was an honor to attend - and to present a Combat Veteran a Quilt of Valor..
Now this smile - it is going to make you head right over to that sewing machine isn't it?
She was just delighted with this quilt!!! ( Sandi and Karen - this is one your Mom made)

| This is one of the two that Patti in MI made - quilted and all! |

| This is the second one. |
I took a photo of them next to each other so you knew I wasn;t confused
( that happens some time lol)
The Next Three Quilts come from the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum. That is just a fantastical museum - if you ever get to Golden - you need to go there!!
Both of these quilts are going to be presented to some Women Combat Veterans. We have a retreat coming up - hosting 60 veterans. So I am excited, these will be perfect for women!
This is another from RMQM
This wonderful Disappearing 9 patch came from the Meanders Quilt B
in Marietta GA!! Beautiful!
This Quilt came from Miscellaneous.... I'm not sure if it was passed off to me at a meeting, or came through a Quilt shop - so if you made this one - please let me know!!
The last Quilt for today comes from the Craft Box here in Colorado. I love string quilts - and isn't this one awesome?
I'll leave you with one last smile for today...
Enjoy!!
I enjoy seeing the QOV photos. Thanks for sharing.
