Check out all these awesome pillowcases
And the quilters below who made them!
I hope you always know this is a group effort - to Honor Our Veterans Touched by War!
I try real hard to give everyone the credit they deserve -
cuz Wow - it truly touches these Veterans hearts to know how many are involved in Thanking them.
And now - on to the presentation photos!
This is a Lt Col. He was so wonderful
And he said Thank you to his Dad. His Dad had just passed away.
So touching
These two - the Veteran above
and the Veteran below
are brothers.
They were nominated by their sister
She was from Cody and came all the way down to be here.
I don't know how to explain how they steal your heart -
but they truly do
Meeting each and every one of them has certainly made my life much better
and I hope we have shown them our appreciation!

You do a most fantastic job of the presentations in addition to everything else you do. You are one AWESOME vet wrapper (though I saw many other wrappers there as well!!).
ReplyDeleteImpressive! So many hours of labor. I appreciate Vets and all their sacrifices.
ReplyDeleteQuestion, what is that quilt pattern that look like a Friendship Star with an extra little fabric blip across from the star? Is there a pattern somewhere? (second to last photo) Thank you.
Once again, I am in awe. Thank you for sharing. Wish I had a local group to work with. This inspires me to keep quilting.
ReplyDeleteI just love seeing all these different QOVs!!!!! I try to imagine what each looks like unwrapped but wouldn't anything fin place of seeing them around the shoulders of the recipients.
ReplyDeleteYour work touches many .....
