Did anybody catch Lester Holt on NBC news tonite?
He was talking about the medical advances and how the wounded are treated, first where they are injured, then moved to Germany.. Anyway, they were showing them being transported in a huge big cargo plane, and then in the hospital - and a bunch of them had QUILTS IN THEIR LAPS.... I thought that was sooooooooo mondo cool... |

My new year project is to send quilts to my son in Afganistan for his buddies; he took his with with.

Bless you Candlequilter for doing that. If my son is ever injured I would definitely want him to be covered with a quilt that was made with love. I just sent him one..and 2 extras for whoever..
They truly appreciate all of the quilts they get, he just told me today that it is 80 during the day..and was 20 when he called me Thank you again for all you do! |
That's awesome!

I would love to donate quilts to something like this,but every one I have looked into are so particular about the quilts and how they are made. Is this one choosy about the details? I have lots of fabric I would love to sew into quilts for these heros.

our guild has done the simple strip quilts. We take them to the VA and they give them to returning wounded soldiers...
|
I have made 2 quilts for the Wounded Warriors and presented them to the receipients at the local VA hospital. My "in" is that I work with a guy who is ex-military and his wife is involved in the local quilt guild. They both helped make the initial contact at the VA hospital for me. Our warfighters are so very grateful for these "gifts". I feel we should be the grateful ones - they are putting themselves in harm's way to protect our freedom. (btw - there were no "restrictions" or "requirements" for the quilts).
