Quilts of Valor 2016

Yay - I have photos!!

I love doing these shows. I love having the inspiration at my finger tips, and I love sharing with you all the incredible Quilts that are made for Quilts of Valor.  I always tell my friends and quilters - One quilt - is One more Veteran Touched by War "feeling the love"   .... so never feel overshadowed by those who can make more than one.... okay??

Last week , or the week before - I can't quite remember

I headed out to the Colorado Springs Quilt Guild and spoke

They didn't kick me out, and no one fell asleep - so it must have been ok

It was fun seeing all my quilts on one table though - that did make me happy!

One of the Guild members - Jeannie - handed me this quilt for QOV

Isn't it fantastic?

It was pieced by Jeannie, Quilted by Regina, andbound by Peggy!

We make Quilts of Valor for a Womens PTSD Retreat that occurs here once a year

and this quilt will be headed towards those women.

They LOVE the girly colors

( please - I don't need more girly quilts though, 

we have awesome quilters who have made sure we have enough for 2016)

Hope that gives you a little inspiration?
