I'm glad that your DD is finally here. Tell her "That's right your not from TX, that's right your not from TX, that's right your not from TX, TX want's ya anyway!"

Hello Jenniky - nothing like working with colour to lift your spirits - hope you feel a bit brighter soon.

Meanwhile today I'm doing the binding on the wall hanging...

This will give me incentive to do a wedding quilt (log cabin in RW&B) for a friend who is captain in U.S. Air Force and 70th birthday quilt for friend who is retired chief petty officer in Coast Guard. Does it count if I finish two quilts for the Veterans Hospital? They just need quilting.

Welcome. Sounds like you are planning to be busy. You bet it counts if you finish two quilts. That's a big part of this, encouraging people to finish things up or start new things.

Would love to see pictures.

I was planning to do the patriotic challenge, then when looking thru my stuff for inspiration, I found a kaleidascope I started while I was having to stay 2 extra weeks in Ohio this spring and got all inspired to work on it again. Hope I get back to a patriotic item again.

I don't think we have a deadline here. Do one then the other.

So sorry your dd will be living farther away from you. I know how that is, not easy.My heart and prayers go out to you. Did she move there for college or a job??My daughter and her husband moved to Colorado when our first granddaughter was only 4 months old--for 14 long months. Fortunately they didn't like it there and moved back to California and live 25 minutes from us. We used skype almost everyday-that helped.

Looking and touching fabric can definitely take your mind off things. Sewing helps even more, that is for sure. You've also got all of us quilting phanatics!!!

nHello, I stumbled in here the other day and, wow what a great surprise. Now here is the thing. My daddy is 73 and he wants me to make him a quilt. So I think it should be a quilt that is about him. And anyway I want to do a patriotic quilt. He served 37 yrs in the Navy, What I am looking for is a Emblem for the Navy, or the Supply Corp Navy. And guess what I can not find one. But I know that they are out there cause I have seen it with some of your quilts. Can one of you please tell me where I can find them.
Thank you in advance Audrey (wanabquilter)

Go to Image Google and type "Emblem for US Navy" or "Emblem for Supply Corp Navy".
