Just a note to say THANK YOU for your service. May you come home safe and sound. God Bless you. P>S> Love your quilt, I am sure your daughter will treasure it always.

Great scrappy postage stamp quilt! I'm sure your dd absolutely treasured it and you while you were deployed. Thank you for your service. What a heart warming story.

Beautiful quilt and daunting task for a first quilt. Hand piecing all those teeny tiny squares! Not to mention the having cut them out. That is called commitment, something that as a service woman you know something about. Best wishes to you and yours. We celebrate you home.

A great, colorful quilt. I'm sure your daughter will treasure this quilt.

Oh my!! That's beautiful. I'm sure your daughter will treasure it for many years. Thanks for your service!!

I think it's lovely - and lots of memories attached...

Beautiful quilt and thank you for your service

Love the quilt and thank you for serving our country!!! Stay safe.

I have to agree with everyone it is a beautiful quilt and a beautiful story. Thank you for protecting our country! Yes keep making those quilts!

A treasure for your daughter and you and your fellow soldiers are a treasure for our nation. Thank you for your service.

The quilt is just beautiful, and your story is very touching! Thank you sew much for your service. God bless!

First of all, thank you for your service to our country. I can't believe you made a postage stamp quilt as your first and did a fabulous job at that. How sweet your daughter was hugged by it during your deployment. Thank goodness you returned safely to cuddle her yourself. Great job and looking forward to more quilts in the future.

What a beautiful story and beautiful quilt! Thank you for all you have done for us!

Your quilt is awesome! I love love love it. We take so much for granted in our lives. Thank you so much for your service to our country. You are a wonderful Mom. I can't imagine all the sacrifices you've made. It touched my heart that you were googling the binding process on way to the airport. And I complain when I can't get on this site everyday. God Bless you and your family and I look forward to viewing your next quilt. I hope you get to stay home safe and sound.

That is a great quilt and knowing the story behind it makes it even greater. God bless you and keep you, and all our military people, safe forever.

Beautiful, I did not read all the comments, but what size are your "stamps"?

Some day I would love to do one of these. Yours is beautiful.God bless you and your family. Thanks for serving our country.

Great story and I love your awesome quilt!

Beautiful quilt! Thank you for your serviice to our country and may God Bless you and your family. I am sure your daughter feels so close to you. I know even when my daughter was little and got sick she wanted my bathrobe to wrap up in - said she could smell me and felt safe. It is the little things that mean so much.

Love the quilt. Love your story even move. Love that you took the time to serve our country for all of our freedom. God Bless!

So very special. Thank-you for your service to our country and the sacrifices you have made for us.

Very pretty, i know your daughter loved it

This story brings tears to my eyes. I can't imagine having to leave my family to travel thousands of miles away to help in a country that doesn't seem to want help & risk my life in the meantime. God bless you for your love of country & I hope this finds you safe & sound & back into the arms of your family. Congrats on your lovely quilt. I am sure your DD felt secure in its warmth. What a lovely story.

Dear afchic: Your quilt is AWESOME! Loved the story, as well--gives your beautiful quilt extra meaning! I can't imagine hand-piecing all those tiny blocks! I can't tell from the picture, but it looks like a rag quilt ???
(except that it has a binding). It is just wonderful! Good luck to you and your family, and thank you for your service to our country!

Gorgeous! Thank you for your service!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful quilt, as well as the sacrifices you make for your country. As the military mom of 2, I know how trying it is on you and your family when you have to deploy. Thank you again, and God bless you!
