I had in mind to make 3 quilts for the Quilts of Valor program this year. The last one is ready, so here they are. These are given to military veterans to thank them for their service, but I make them in honor of my parents, who both served in World War II. You can see their pictures in an earlier post, here.
Here are the finished quilts. I’ll now take them to my local QOV representative who will see that they get to deserving veterans.
QOV 2025-1, 60″ x 80″
QOV 2025-2, 61″ x 72″
QOV 2025-3, 61″ x 74″
All these were quilted by Linda Nichols, who is an official QOV longarmer
Now it’s on to the next quilt–you know that story! What are you up making these days?
Zippy Quilts 
Very awesome, that is such a wonderful program the Quilts of Valor!
Yes, and I enjoy the people involved as well.
Lovely quilts
Thank you, Helen!
Another three striking quilts. No 1 is my favourite. I am sure the veterans will be well pleased.
i am on a mending spree (to answer your question)
Oh, Mariss, I’ve been meaning to tell you: your mending post was just in time! I have volunteered to teach mending to some people from my church. We do seem to have the problem that they confuse mending with alterations, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. I loved seeing your class sample!
I am sure you will put them on the right track!
Just fabulous! You’re so generous with your time and talent. I admire you for what you give away.
I guess this is my equivalent of your 7 year plan. Giving away as many quilts as I can 😀
