Quilts for veterans
 

Hi quilters! I wanted to show you that we honored 8 veterans with a quilt Thursday. We were supposed to present 10 but two vets were unable to come. I think each one was beautiful and unique if I do say so myself. Love our service men and women! These are the two I made and I hate when I have to resize that they load sideways. -Toogie

thanks for making them
Thank the veterans for their service

beautiful quilts

Thanks so much for honoring our vets! They are beautiful!

Thank you for sharing pictures of the ceremony to honor the veterans. I Love that the quilts are wrapped around the men like they are receiving a Hug of Love for their service. Both of your quilts are outstanding and are sure to be loved.

What beautiful quilts you made for such a wonderful cause! Your kindness and generosity in quilting for charities is so touching, thank you!

That's an impressive photo and accomplishment! Thanks for sharing.

lovely quilts. and so wonderful that you were able to be there for the gifting.

well they look great sideways too! love the pic with the quilts on the veteran's backs! lovely.

Oh, your post just warms my heart - your quilts are exquisite and the pic of the veterans wrapped in their given quilts is just wonderful.

This type of sharing is exactly what the QB is all about!

God Bless all our service men and women. Thank you for generously sharing your talents to honor them.

Thanks for the photos. I have never seen a picture of any of the Vets receiving them. So heartwarming! Your quilts are great and Thank you to all who have served!

The night before the last presentation was when I fell and broke my arm. I had a quilt ready to give and on the way to the hospital, amidst pain and crying, I thought of our veteran and his quilt. My husband assured me he would get it to the ceremony on time and he did. I do miss occasionally but when I know that any of my quilts are to be given I especially like to be there. Others sent me photos of that day so I could see when I felt better. I’m in therapy now so I’m almost ready to quilt again.

What a great cause. All of the quilts are beautiful, and the pic of the veterans wrapped in love and appreciation warms my heart. Well done!

Is the quilt with the soldier in the center a panel or an actual person? That’s awesome, I’m sorry you got hurt but your quilts were well received. Was there no female recipients there? Since my sister and daughter both served I always love when there are women involved in the ceremony.

No women this time but we have given to them before. Thank them from us for their service. If you’d like them to receive a quilt go to the website and make a nomination. Or maybe you would like to join a qroup in your area. That would be awesome!

The soldier is a panel. The panel is anything in the lighter blue camouflage. Notice I fussy cut the Navy emblem for my Star centers.

They are both very patriotic.

All great quilts and very touching…

They are gorgeous.
