Wonderful News. Thank you and all those who keep our women and men in good spirit. To know people are thinking of them and keeping us safe here in the states. Bless them all.

When you get all the pictures, we can make a book out of it.

Also I almost have my next quilt top ready but my machine went down and my featherweight is not working and the other old singer I have, the belt came apart. Thr Singer's haven't been used in a very long time. So tomorrow I am taking my main machine and the featherweight to my man. It is about 90 miles, so I am going to see if they could get one working while I wait. I knew my main machine was going down, but I was hoping I could finish the quilt first.

Are you getting close to quota?

I have been following but have no time to help out.. being the mom of a Marine who will be going to Afghanistan in October of next year I am so happy to see the love that you all have put into the quilts. I can't wait to see pics..

Thank you Jan.. that is very heartfelt!

Oh, the waiting is so hard! But, I’m doing the happy dance in Bedford VA today, wahoo!!

I didn't know about this thread unntil this morning. I don't have any quilts ready to send, but will put everything aside and try to get something done soon. This is such a wonderful thing to do for our troops. Jinnie

Fantastic! I can't wait to see the pictures.
I am trying to finish a top for you, and will send it when done, with the needed binding, etc.
