need for Quilts of Valor in Kansas for returning unit
 

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!!!

thanks...I just passed the info on to the 3 guilds and another FB quilting forum that are all IN KS.

thanks for bringing that to our attention. it is, indeed, a very worthy cause.

Awesome Jacquie, ty so much!!!

also found out that QOV is without an OK representative again..sigh..so guess who asked for the job?
I did that 5 years ago and will gladly step up again! I think...OY..

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

Thanks for the link, Linda.
I've spent the last hour reading the site...going to find a pattern and fabric today.
