Another Quilt of Valor Presentaiton

 It's kind of like Christmas around here - I have had a lot of presentations set up...

This one!!

Just love it!!!


This awesome group of Veterans had Army, Navy and Marines. We had one that was almost 100 - and we had a Husband and Wife Navy Team - it was just awesome!!!

We had quilts from

Ila, Ethel. Lorna, Our Colorado Group, Verna, Jeri and myself. 

If you look closely you will see two people wrapped in the same quilt. They are the Husband Wife team. We had discussed that maybe they would love a quilt they could use together - Little Bit and I recalled the Kevin the Quilter Sapphire Stars Mystery and we decided that would be a great Quilt to make for this team !! So Little Bit  and I made it for them!!! 

It was exciting to be able to award these Quilts of Valor to these amazing Veterans

Those are a beautiful group of quilts! You guys are so amazing - and you even got one of your sons in on the action. Wonderful!

I am so very proud of you for making this happen. Thank you, on behalf of my daddy, who was in the Army/Air Corp in WW2.

These presentations are so rewarding. We have a group of 3 coming up next week for our group. I still need to label 2 of those.

I worked on 3 different Sapphire Star quilts, but I've never finished any of them (they are sitting outside my sewing room door, and I look at them every day).
