.. and we decided to do it outside. We have not seen rain very much at all this year, and you know what?
I think we tempted fate - because it drizzled the WHOLE presentation, and then - when we got ready to leave ... it stopped ...
I had hoped to pull the rain to my house! ( this presentation was 45-50 miles away)
There is a Gorgeous Veterans Plaza in this town - and it was a perfect backdrop to the presentation.
I had bios of each Veteran and it was so cool to learn about each one. But what is always more fun to me, is to see their faces when the Quilts are shown. I am always so amazed at how each quilt finds just the right Veterans for them.
I enjoyed meeting these Vets, and was so impressed that none of them looked like the drowned rat that I looked like in that drizzle... just a funny... my hair actually went flat instead of frizzy - so that was a positive!
To find out more about Quilts of Valor or to Nominate a Veteran - go to QOVF.org and look around. I hear we are almost to our 500,000 quilt. That!! is amazing!!!
Find me at all these places:

Another wonderful award ceremony! The veteran plaza does look very nice. We have some awards coming up in May as well.
What a great location for your QOV presentation.
What an excellent place to present these quilts!!
Rain and snow has been really lacking this winter/spring, hasn't it? I'm glad there was a drizzle and that the ceremony still went so well.
What a wonderful and colorful ceremony! Beautiful quilts. Yes, it is amazing how the quilt finds its forever home!
Very cool QOVs. Sorry the drizzle didn't follow you home.
What a beautiful spot for the presentation. I'm so happy it went well in spite of the weather.
The diversity of quilts in your presentations always amazes me -- SO many different designs and fabrics. Such a wonderful program!
Sorry about the drizzle...but it made the presentation memorable. Seeing the picture of all of the beautiful quilts reminded me of the Dignity Statue in SD.
