Quilt of Valor is ready to be awarded

Quilts of Valor is one of my charities that I like to support as much as time allows me.
Kaye Allen sent me her quilt top with the backing to get quilted by me about a month ago.
Looking at the quilt and the empty white spaces, I found that I had no choice but to pull out all the stops and custom quilt this beautiful top. So with my APQS Millie longarm quilting machine on my 14ft quilting table, I went to design and work...

Kaye will be showing it in the upcoming County Fair in Roseville CA and I am really proud to be apart of this. Kaye and her group of quilters (Freedom Troopers) made this quilt to award to a member of our USA Troops.

Thank you to Kaye Allen and her quilting crew Freedom Troopers and THANK YOU to all our troops!!!
Never forget, never forgotten!!!

Let's look at the pictures I took before shipping this quilt back to Kaye so she can sew the binding on it and get it ready to be awarded -->

HELP our troops please...

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.

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 :)
