QOV 2015 - July Show #5

Alright!!!! We are really cooking now aren't we?  Have you seen any quilts that you just have to add to your bucket list?

I will tell you - the absolute WORST part of this job ....wanting to make SO many of these quilts!! Oh well - as long as I have a bucket list, I can purchase fabrics!!

There is a spectacularly wonderful Groups of Quilters - Called the Amelia Island Quilters - and they do such FABULOUS work.... the Quilts today all come from them!

I have to tell you - I tried to pick a favorite, but each time I unfurled another quilt.... I chose it!!!

These are just beautiful -

Gail you and your quilters are just fantastic!!

Hope you enjoyed the last 5 days of LOTS of Quilts of Valor

QOV 2015 - July Show #4

Happy 4th of July!!!!

I know today is usually a busy day - but I give you permission to drool for a minute or two over this Quilty Inspiration!!!  It's okay!  Plus you need to cool off a bit right?


So this First quilt was made by our Greeley group of orphan String blocks, extra string block and fun stuff. I sent it to one of the National Quilt of Valor LongArmers - her name is Teresa . She did a fabulous job on it!!  So we have adopted her !!

This one - I am stealing.... okay not really - but I took a lot of photos!

It was made by Connie and Quilted by her. Isn't that just the coolest effect?

Here is another one by Kathy and Connie.  Another one on my bucket list!

This one is also by Kathy and Connie

They sound like trouble don't they?  Tee hee hee

Well - they are not trouble.... I love them !!!

This is the 4th quilt they made this month! ( below)

This quilt ( below) was made by the Palmer Divide Quilters. The fabulous John Alden quilted it.

Then we have the fabulous Ms Judy V - 

She made this one - it is really cool!!

Somehow this next one ( below)

Ended up in my hot little hands from my travels around the state -

but there was no label or name attached to it....

Anyone recognize it???

Marsha and Elena - out in Eastern CO are another fantabulous Duo!!

Over the QOV National Sew Day they hosted a quilting time

They had quilters come in and they made a bajillion of these blocks....

They turned in to fantastic quilts!!

Thanks Marsha for all your hard work in doing this!!

This is a back - I thought that was just so cool 

Its the back of one of Marshas quilts

And  a few smiles -

Enjoy your day!!!

QOV 2015 - July Show #3

Welcome to the Third Quilt of Valor Show this week - I know that is a lot - but we average 100 Quilts per month, and I realized that showing you 40 a month.... I was doing the math..... ummm.... It didn't add ( or subtract) up!!  So here you go - lots of Great inspirations. Maybe something you'll want to try.

The TEN Quilts today all come from Buena Vista - Linda hosts a Great QOV group called Chaffee County Quilters - and they are so amazing.  
Ready?

it is SO fun to open these boxes - I feel like it is Christmas... and Its a party - all at the same time!!

Probably you don't know this - But I LOVE blue and rail fences..... this is one soothing quilt!

This was a fun presentation 

An Iraq Vet with his Grandpa , a WWII Vet 

Pretty cool!

Don't forget  - tomorrow will be some more great inspirations!!!

QOV 2015 - July Show #2

Ready for some More Beautiful Quilt of Valor Inspiration??

Let's get to it!!!

Our first four quilts are from Columbine Quilt Guild in Colorado. This is a another VERY prolific Quilt of Valor Group. and they do such great work!!!

This yummy Log Cabin was pieced by Margaret and Quilted by Kathy &Sue

This next one.... the 9 patches were all made by Betty.

Betty's Husband is a WWII Vet that received a Quilt - and now she is the fastest 9 patch piecer in the world!! She really is!!

I bundled the 9 patches together and made this pattern - then I send them to a few different Piecers

This one was pieced by Connie and she also Quilted it!

Isn't it great???

The one below was made all by Connie

And this Next one was pieced by Connie - the blocks around the edges are from the Machine Quilting Expositions QOV Block Drive.

And now for a few smiles...

The tears in his eye got me, and It made me SO glad to be a part of this!

And one last photo for the day.... it's this guys Birthday.,,, and he is not a baby anymore ( sniff sniff)

QOV 2015 - July show #1

HAPPY July!!!

Can you believe that it is already July?  I just feel like I got in to the rhythm of summer .... sort of....

The final Layout of Starry Night for Josh was posted on Monday. I hope you enjoyed it!

And now on to The Quilt of Valor Inspiration for today!!


There is a QOV group out of Canon City CO - called the Fremont Victory Quilters.

I can not stress enough how fantabulous they are!!

In May alone we needed 96 Quilts to fill our needs

And HOLY Buckets did they dig in and QUILT!!

And not only that!!   They went out of their way to get them to the Veterans!!

Aren't their Quilts awesome?

Cathy and Jewel head the group up - but all the Quilters need a round of applause!

The Next Two quilts are from the Bee Sew Brave Bee in Longmont - Gina and PJ are the fearless contact for me there! And PJ - goodness - she made sure I got these - even through my ditsy-ness ( I blame the weather)

I really like how the stars just add to the coolness of these Quilts!!

And the last one for today's show comes from Gina

Check out that awesome border!!

Hope you enjoy seeing these Great Quilts of Valor

In honor of it being July.... Come back tomorrow -
