In the meantime - I hope you enjoy these Quilts of Valor!!
The first 6 Quilts are all from Meredith in AZ - and they are Quilted by Ron in NM
The cool thing about these quilts is Ron always quilts an American Symbol in the quilt.
When our soldiers pick the quilts up, I always try to point out the symbol
( I think I have more fun with that!!)
The Next three quilts come from the Wabi-Sabi Quilters
This first one was pieced by Mary and quilted by Pamela
This one was pieced by the group and quilted bu Sue and Kathy
This is a close up of the Eagle Block
Another one pieced by Wabi Sabi and quilted by Sue and Kathy
I think I told you we are covering a Women Veterans Event
so this is a top that I found on Ebay a while ago, and
decided it should be quilted for this evert
Don't you just love how Quilts make you gather all around... and smile?
Go Forth an Quilt!!!
Gorgeous quilts and lots of smiles. That's a fun combo.
ReplyDeleteReading your post this morning has been the perfect way to begin my day!
ReplyDeleteI hope Meredith doesn't mind but I posted the pic of that top quilt to the facebook group, One Block Wonder. What a cute idea to use half hexies staggered across the quilt. Looks like birds or caterpillars. Add some idea and its a snake. Thank you! And thank Meredith.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous and colorful quilts....they are all real eye candy!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilts...especially the flying banners by Ron.... is there an easy pattern for that. I'm thinking it's 1/2 sq. triangles and squares put together to work this out.
ReplyDeleteAll your recipients are not smiling this time, did you notice? Maybe this group is new to the rehab? Maybe their quilt will help them feel better as time goes on.
Thanks for sharing your pictures.
Hugs
Very Well done. Scraps to Smiles once again.
