Wounded Warrior/Warrior Wash Quilt project we did in Nov
 

A friend of mine and I cranked out 19 lap throw quilts for a Wounded Warrior/Warrior Wash Retreat. There were to be 21 at this retreat and I was asked to make one to be raffled off. It went from there to a friend bored with nothing to do so she and I went to work. We had 2 weeks to get them finished but our goal was to award each one with a quilt. Here are a few photos of our dear men and women who have served faithfully. Most are from current wars and one from Viet Nam era as am I. The friend is a VN vet herself. The first one given out was eager to get his and gave me a hug. Someone called out to me that I had just been hugged by a Col. Not understand these are men and women who are suffering from chemicals used to destroy waste. The symptoms are endless and my heart goes out to them. It was the most rewarding volunteer project I have ever done. And I want to share it with you. This is my first time to post pictures so bear with me on this and I hope I do it right.

What a great cause! I have an uncle who was KIA in Viet Nam, a brother who served in Iraq, and a fiance who served in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait. This is such an amazing thing that you did to recognize and honor veterans.

God Bless you and your friend. They will be loved!!

Fantastic quilts! You and your friend are good people.

terrific collection of quilts

Fantastic. While we like to create individual quilts to admire for ourselves making quilts to comfort others is so much more rewarding.

Spectacular quilts to well deserving Heros. Thank you!

Wow, great works!!!

Those vets will be warm this winter, between those lovely quilts and the love you and your friend put in them how could they not be?

Thank you. As a military daughter and the mother of 2 service personnel, I thank you so much for helping to remember them. Always.

Blessing to you and your friend for giving to such a great cause. They are beautiful and you made some very happy veterans.

Bless you for blessing the wounded warriors. We are so fortunate that some choose to protect us.

The giver always receives many blessings, maybe more than the receiver. Bless you and your friend for this awesome gift to those who have served! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

If I could I'd give you and your friend a hug too!!! Our veterans deserve so much and they're always willing to give without ever expecting to receive anything in return. Every time they use your quilts they'll know someone gave back to them!!! Beautiful quilts made with such love. :)

Thank you for your services [h=2]Wounded Warrior/Warriors and to the ones that made all of the quilts for them, God bless each one of you[/h]

Jewels in your crown!

Bless you both, no one deserves them more then our wounded warriors.

What great work and what a wonderful cause!

You guys did a terrific job so take a bow !!

What a great bunch of quilts. Thank you for volunteering to make quilts for vets. You and your friend are certainly quilting angels.

Awesome quilts! Thank you for your service! I love volunteering at Quilts of Valor where we make quilts for in hospital active service members. You are correct, it is very rewarding even if you never meet the quilt recipients!
hugs,

You did a wonderful job on these. Using our talents to bless someone else is so rewarding. God bless you.

BIG thanks for taking on this challenge. Recipients are deserving. Thanks for sharing.

You are both Angels, and all those beautiful quilts for such deserving people. :)

This is such a wonderful way to honor our veterans. I know each quilt will be cherished forever and also the thoughts in their mind and hearts. Thank you so much.

You all did a wonderful job for a great cause. Thank you for sharing and for volunteering these gifts to those who have sacrificed so much for us.

You did a fantastic job for a great cause. You and your friend should get the QM of H (Quilting Medal of Honor)for this outstanding accomplishment.:thumbup: As a cold war vet, I had the privilege, at the request of my sister, to make a comfort quilt for returning vets this past September. It was my second quilt and a total of 168 quilts were requested. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot about quilting on that project.
