Your family is an inspiration for all of us. Your quilt is wonderful and will command patriotism in those who see it. Isn't it amazing what we can do when challenged. We might not want to do it again but was great to do it once! Thanks for the heartfelt dedication in your heart. We can all learn from you!

Thank you for what you are doing --- having 2 sons serve and taking on this challenge. It is a lovely quilt and will have many memories for you and the boys in the unit. I am a former vet and I appreciate all who keep our country safe. Without them we would not be the free country that we are.

I believe the look on my face was the only answer he needed but he went on to explain it was for his unit and would benefit local soldiers and since I have two sons in that unit, how could I refuse and I didn't. He showed me a picture of the quilt he wanted and I drafted a pattern and called on my cousin for help. It has the Soldiers Creed embroidered on the white strips and I can't even recite it now without choking up...In 6 days, we completed the quilt and I delivered it to the armory this morning. This is the most meaningful quilt I have ever made and I'd do it again in a heartbeat...but not while working and most definitely NOT in 6 days!
