Quilts of Valor 2015

Writing this post has been a struggle!! I wanted to share with you our Presentation in Greeley - I shared that photo of all the vets sitting up front...

Okay - I will share it again:

And it was awesome.... and then my fabulous picture takers let me download and emailed me  - and then Igot overwhelmed!! I want to share them all with you - but there was 400 or so photos.... and then I wanted to share the best ones.. but there are 400 of them - and .... I couldn't choose.

So I ate a piece of chocolate, and I took the dogs for a walk - AND!! I still couldn't choose....

We had 27 Veterans at our presentation. 

Too many to choose from!!

And see all the people that came?

I forgot to open my eyes while I was talking.

Turns out that was a good thing - who knows how badly I might have shook!!

This Veteran... he was a Marine

And his quilt

Made by two Marine Moms

With lots of Marine *stuff* in it

Loved the Thumbs up!!

This is my buddy...

Little Bit and I Picked out a quilt for him - it is the MQX blocks

Put together by the UNC Softball team

and we decided to quilt Motorcycle in it...

This Veteran is a Motorcycle man... we were proud of ourselves!

 This is my other buddy -

We surprised him! Yep - he had No Clue ;-)

His quilt was made by the National Honor Society peeps at Platte valley

My Middle son coordinated it

It was cool - he was speechless !!  Well for a minute - and then he was just so surprised - LOVE it!!

SO..... because I can't share them all in one blog post - I made an album and I posted it on my photography site. Because I did not take the pictures - Thea and Lynn and Kelly did - It is a private album ( my site is a business site)   so - you have to have the link to get to it - here it is:
