Wow those are beautiful

All are very beautiful. You are a very special person to make all these wonderful quilts for our Military personel. Thank them for their service to our great country. Great job.

terrific. thanks for doing that.

ok I have to admit I have been doing these for a while now and have my patterns ready so when they ask I can just pull which ever pattern I want and jump on them.

So this is how last week went. I'm working on a 100" x 100" quilt for one of my brothers in Maine. Got most of the top done, was hoping to get it completed before Aug but when I got the call for the 8 quilts all that gets set aside. That's how I do stuff. Soldiers first, no matter what, then what ever is on my list comes second. Everyone that knows me, understands how it works and is good with it.

Anyway, I spend 1 day, deciding on which patterns and fabrics to use and cutting out all 8 quilts. Then from there it's sew, sew and sew some more until they are all done. I do not machine quilt them, I haven't had time to learn how. I tie all my quilts and then machine bind them. They are not perfect but they are useable and look fairly nice so I'm happy with them. Yep I have throw quilts out that I didn't like or messed up so badly that it was easier to start over then to fix but that's another story. LOL

Thanks to everyone for all the kind words. I really love doing these for them. It's the least I can do when they give so much of themselves.

Fabulous!!!!

Fantastic quilts! Thank you for honoring those who serve!

I'm beyond impressed.

How could they not like them! They are wonderful. You are incredibly productive; kudos to you for doing this. Thank you for sharing.

They will love them. What a great thing you are doing...reminders of home is what will keep their spirits up.

Great job on your quilts, but more important what a great heart you have.

They are all so beautiful and so special from your heart. I wish I could make one quilt in a week. I need some advise from you on how to do that!!!!!!
