I am a Navy wife and if I were there I would bid on it for sure, and you better get more then 100 for it. Maybe you can bid on it too so that you make them fork out more money.. just a little trick. I love it.. good job!!

I'll have to ask when I go to drop it off.
But, I'm sure there will most likely be a bidding war on it.
Then those that don't get it will probably hunt me down and ask if I'll make them all one.

It's not exactly what I wanted to do. What I wanted was....embroidered "dolphins" (not flipper looking ones, these signify submarines) in the middle, with the I love my Submariner around it, but couldn't get the "dolphins" and wasn't going to pay anyone for them. Especially the lady who said SHE has the copywrite on it. I DON'T THINK SO!! This "dolphin" insignia has been around for over 100 years and I don't think she is that old. I tried to digitize it with my program, but found that my program is "lost" on my computer and I cannot for the life of me find the discs. So...I just changed it to Sailor, so that way, EVERYONE can bid on it.
But thank you to everyone for their kind words.

Leslee.....Love your Hawaiian Quilt avatar. I have one myself, but it's called Under The Sea. Really really cute, it is. I also have my name on a quilt that was being made by a guild in Hawaii. I was wandering around fabric shops and whatnot and came across some ladies embroidering a quilt. I just stood and watched and chatted a bit with them. They invited me to help. I refused at first, then they sat me down and I was there for a little over an hour "helping" them. When I excused myself to leave, they wanted to make sure they had the spelling of my name right so they could add it to the "Makers" of the quilt.

I think Hawaiian Quilts are awesome, but not tackling one of those any time soon!

I agree with you. To tell you the truth, I'm scared to put it on a bed yet! You should probably try a pillow or wallhanging size one someday, just for fun. I promise you won't get too addicted... :twisted:

Looks nice....I hope it brings in quite a bit for the cause!

Hand quilt it? I tried, didn't like it.
Then I tried Stitch In The Ditch.
Didn't like it.
So....it's all squiggly, that's what Courtney calls it...all over it.
The white with the little bit of red is done in white and the
red heart is done in red, so when you turn it over to the back, you have
an outline (quilting) of the heart. It's kinda cool!
So, now YOU have to make one! :)
