I just read on this link I follow about a major need for help with quilts for a unit that is returning next month that has suffered major losses and trauma during it's tour of duty overseas. You can read the details here at this link: http://www.qovf.org/content/qovs-nee...y-vickers.html

I just wanted to make all our wonderful, generous and kind-hearted quilters aware of this need in case anyone can help. I know all our hearts go out to those who serve in all countries and suffer the traumas of war.

I am going to set aside my UFOs and make a quilt to send. I hope others will be moved to do the same. Hugs and smiles to everyone!!!

You go girl! I wish their rules left a little more room for people like me, but I do what I can by passing the word and pulling one off now and again. It's a real challenge for me tho, to meet their standards since that is not the way I am able to quilt. That said, I donate on my own to military and have never had one rejected or unloved because it had fleece backing! LOL
