I too am partial to the Navy quilt. My Dad was career Navy--submarines--and my husband was a career line officer. I know what it means to familys who have spouses fighting for our freedom. Hats off to the men who serve and the families who support them on the home front.

(The last row is not sewn to the others yet.) The USS Ronald Reagen CVN 76 (right side), USS Cleveland LPD 7 (bottom) and the USS John Paul Jones DDG 53 (left). Above the God Bless America panel, I would like to put a picture of US Naval Station Great Lakes training building where he did his boot camp and now an instructor there. The red, white and blue navy fabric will be the backing. Would like your opinions please.
BTW....your gd's quilt is wonderful, know she's going to love and cherish it. |
Are there any members in the Norfolk Virginia area near the Naval Station that could possible take a picture for me of the Welcome or entrance sign? I lost all my pictures in Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. Would like to include the picture in my sons' quilt. Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

Here is an update on how far I have gotten on the Navy quilt for my son. Opinions welcome. I am going to trim them in blue just as the Norfolk VA sign and then sash with the Navy backgroun fabric. Please be truthful, I want this to me a momenta of how he is appreciate for his service to our country. Everything is just pinned, for easy rearranging. There are a lot of pictures.

The labels I am going to enlarge them to match the width of the picture they represent.

Both are wonderful!!!

Great quilts! I have less than 2 yrs. to start getting one ready for my son who is retiring from the Army.
Tell your Hero son I thank him much for his service and you and your family too. |
What a treasure you are making! They are both wonderful!

Your son's quilt is Wonderful!! My son was also on the USS Ronald Reagan in 2010 with VFA 147 Argonauts. I wish I was as talented as you are I would do one of these quilts for my son as he has been in the Navy for 18 years.
Your granddaughter's quilt is precious. Thank Your Son for his Service and Bless you and your family!! |
