Started on the first "Quilts of Valor" quilt today :)

So many people send me a large selection of Patriotic fabrics to make quilts for wounded soldiers and veterans. Click here to get more information on the "Quilts of Valor" and how you can participate :)
 
 
 
 
 
Here are the details from my previous post on how you can participate in "Quilts of Valor":
 
Needed: donation for "Quilts of Valor" project
Most of you that follow me on my personal Facebook, know that I am a retired Air Force veteran so "Quilts of Valor" (www.qovf.org) is dear to me.
As an textile and fiber artist, I like to contribute on a regular base, a handmade quilt to this Foundation that will be given to our wounded veterans.

To make this happen, I need your help. I will donate my time to design and make the quilts and I am asking you to consider donating: 100% cotton fabric in solid red, solid white, solid blue and patriotic print fabrics and help me with the supplies needed to make quilts to donate.
My husband will donate the money to ship the quilts to and from the long arm quilter and to the Foundation, where they will be given to our wounded veterans :)
How can you help?
All donations will be appreciated and will ONLY be used to make the quilts!

Here is a picture of the fabrics that were donated this week:

I truly hope that we can ship many, many quilts to "Quilts of Valor"
Thank you so much!!!

Meet Moose, my dog in Vietnam, show here with your Quilt of Valor. Now that the weather has gotten cooler here in California I am using the quilt on my bed and I must say it is an honor to sleep under it. I have never slept so well. It has been a real healing for me. Thank you and the girls who make this wonderful gift. It truly brightens up my life.
