these are great. Do you know about the the store in Carrolton that collect sewing/quilting items to send over there to teach them how to sew? I think it's great; I feel for the women over there.

True is, it took 24 -7 for 4 days. I'm exhausted, but they are done and mailed so now I can relax. LOL

Bert and his men arrived home in Colorado Springs this past Saturday night, hallelujah!! Here he is discovering Kate, his wife, in the welcome home team at the flight line -- a precious surprise a kind "higher up" arranged for her to surprise.

Yes both my boys are there now. The youngest has been there about a year and is due home sometime in Aug but the oldest just got there a month ago and I'm not sure how long he will be there.

Doreen 07-12-2011 06:10 AM
Those are just great!

no I have not heard about them. Can you give more information on how I can contact them. Once my boys are home, I will have to stop sending these because I will not have anyone to send them to. Unless you personally know someone to except them, you can not send them so I will be looking for ways to keep this up once my boys are home.

Wow you have been busy. They are wonderful and I am sure they will love them.

I work for myself, no one here that lives close enough to help. Besides I'm so use to working alone that I don't know if a group thing for me would work. LOL I work long hours, sun up to sun down (some time I work around the clock with no sleep) when I get these request and I don't know anyone else willing to work my hours.

yep, I sure did but I didn't sleep much so unless you are willing to go 4 days on about 8 hours sleep (total) then this fast pace is not for you. LOL

Each one of them is a special quilt and I know the troops will love them. Thank you for serving them.

All my quilts are 54" x 78", this size fits their cots.

Sorry but I can not give out the address because you have to know someone in the unit to be able to send stuff to them. It's a security issue.

This is not a random mailing to the unit but a personal mailing to someone that I know personally.
