Good Monday Morning!!
Yesterday was our QOV sew day - I'm pretty excited to see how all these quilts turn out . as I get photos - I will share.
But!! K and I got to head to one of my most favorite VFW’s Friday night and award Quilts of Valor !
I had an Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine !! I thought that was pretty cool to represent!!
When we started Quilts of Valor in Colorado (21yrs ago) - 6 months later I got to get 80 5th graders involved in making these quilts . But when you start something from the ground level, you forget you need resources .
It’s pretty cool to have the support but then be able to love on them back 
I have a little bit of Growth on my Buckeye Beauty Blocks - I am thinking I will continue making them until this is a 2 person quilt size. Or at least that is the plan at this moment.
and stuff...
Daisy Turned 3:
She is not a fan of sitting still and thinks taking time for photos is dumb.
She would prefer to chase the ball , herd the cows , and run in the arena
Baby Bella tried to show her up in the posing :
Just to prove it could be done, but what you don't see - Daisy is glaring at Bella telling her she is a Know it all ... These girls... too funny!!

Those vets with their quilts is so heart-warming. Glad you have resources. Those Buckeye Beauty blocks are SO pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh - such a wonderful experience to get 5th graders involved with making QOV. And I love seeing the 4 guys wrapped in their quilts.
ReplyDeleteYou are making progress on your buckeye beauty. And, what a great bunch of QoVs presented. I'll have to see if I can get Sunny to sit still enough for me to photo her with a quilt. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteLove the presentation! The new quilt is really growing beautifully. Your girls are so sweet!
ReplyDeleteLove that all 4 branches were recipients. <3 Thanks for joining my Sew & Tell party.
ReplyDeleteYour puppies are so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a presentation! You new quilt top is growing! Well done!! Birthday greetings to Daisy and Bella looks so regal in her pose!
ReplyDeleteBuckeye Beauty is coming along nicely. Can't wait to see the finish!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilts for some great guys! Your Buckeye Beauty blocks are looking good. The puppies are too cute. Looks like you had a full week.
ReplyDeleteAre your Buckeye Beauty blocks 8 inches un-finished? Or 8-1/2? I've watched the tutorial on MSQ, and 8 inches is mentioned, but I am trying to decide how many blocks to make for a lap quilt for our future granddaugher-in-law. I think 8 blocks across and 9 down will probably work, but of course I have to allow for laundry shrinkage.
