I'm exhausted, I'm ramped up.... I want to sit, but I want to make more.... I'm overwhelmed, and I am amazed.... this month - and specifically this weekend has been CRAZy!!!
Saturday:
Was an amazing morning !!
With over 200 veterans in attendance we got to award 11 Quilts of Valor to some very cool Veterans !
It’s and honor and a privilege to wrap these beautiful heroes in their Quilts, but it’s even better when I get to hug them as well 
My amazing group of quilters sure make some of the most gorgeous quilts !!
Sunday:
Sunday was a pretty incredible day for me 
We were able to honor 5 veterans in my home church ( Kersey Community Church) with the award of these Quilts of Valor
It was super special to me to be able to hug and recognize the military service of these great people , but to do it in front of the people who pray for me , support me and my family , and are so very important to me , made the presentation a little more personal and …… nerve wracking
These ladies and gentlemen served their country and are some of the best !!
Such an honor to recognize them right before Independence Day
