I made this Serviceman Banner to display while our son was deployed, then donated it to an EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) Memorial Fund. The close-up of the EOD crab was taken before I finished quilting and adding metallic thread.

An added and surprise "bonus" was that some of the white stripes glow in the dark!

Very nice. :thumbup:

Very nicely done. How funny that some of the white fabrics glow in the dark!

I got some color changing thread recently, but haven't tried it yet. It looks white, but when the sun hits it, it changes colors. I saw some glow in the dark thread from the same vendor, but didn't get any.

I have seen glow in the dark fabric around Halloween time, but not sure I've seen it in white before. I bet your quilt looks awesome glowing in the dark. Our service men and women are working day and night, so I think it is very fitting to have glow in the dark fabrics so your quilt can be seen day and night. :thumbup:

so nice!!!! As a solider, I love it!!!

Beautiful..

Your house looks wonderful with your patriotic things all on display.. I love patriotic, it's my favorite! Comes from having a husband in the Navy for 32 years and a son in the Army..

The banner is wonderful.

Cool. I made the lap throw version of that magazine pattern. Love it. Adding the crab was a great idea.

Very nice!

Love it!

Very, very nice! :D

Very nice!!!
I have made a Blue Star quilt, though I did not add any insignia to it!

My son request that I add the EOD crab to it. He noted at the EOD Memorial Fund Raiser last year, that anything with the EOD insignia went for a much higher bid.

You did a great job, and I am so glad that your son made it home safely. I hope this brings in lots of $$.

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful work of art!! Love your other quilts too!
