Quilts in the Parade
 
1 Attachment(s)
Our local quilt guild made 61 soldier quilts that members walked with in a parade on rods. It was quite a pretty site. There was clapping and thank yous from the spectators. Tomorrow they go to a lady who will distribute them to wounded and deployed soldiers.

What a wonderful idea to "parade" the quilts. God bless our service men and women everywhere and God bless those who give support to them.

What a great addition to a parade! I'm sure the veterans who receive them will cherish their quilts.

What a wonderful idea. They are beautiful quilts. For some reason wrapping up in a quilt is so comforting.

What a wonderful idea. We make Quilts of Valor but have not had a "parade". I like that

God bless you all for doing those quilts for our servicemen! I would love to have seen the parade!

RedGarnet222 05-31-2013 06:44 AM
