Hi Cuties! I wanted to show you the quilts we gave these veterans and two still active servicemen yesterday. I only made two of these, so you should recognize those. They are all so different but equally nice.
These two guys are family members. The one with gold quilt is a great nephew. His dad in black shirt is my husbands nephew. He is still active.The one with the red/white/blue is married to my husbands niece. Family picture of him is with wife, one of his daughters and two grandchildren. He served 22 years he said because he loves his country. His dad was a retired veteran with over 20 years.
Hope you like the pics! Have a great day! Kids and my sister are all coming to eat today. ❤️Toogie

Yes, we had a great turn out. All veterans came and most had family or friends with them. It's so disappointing for us when a vet doesn't show up to receive his quilt. We had nine to give (see picture below) at the presentation on the 13th. One of mine didn't show, for the third time and 2 of Emily's and one of RoAnn's so 4 quilts out of 9 weren't awarded that day. I'm glad these 5 men made it and were touched by the ceremony.

I'm very fond of the group members and their generosity, not only to the vets, but to each other. Someone is always sharing a stash from a loved one of fabrics, rulers etc for all of us to re-home. When something is left on a table, they say give it to me, because they think I'll figure out what to make with it-lol

109780I'm so glad you share the quilts and then the folks who receive them. it is so special to see the smiles on their faces. It had to be especially nice to see 2 family members receive theirs. Thanks for the countless hours you spend making these special quilts.

I made all five of the quilts, in the picture I added directly above your comment, but I love doing this. This is nothing compared to the time and sacrifice these men and women have put in. It’s the least I can do, plus I have fun!-lol

Someone gave me money said to go eat out with my husband. I told him no, I don’t do it for money. I do it because I appreciate the veterans and told him if he still wanted to give I’d pass it on to our leader that handles the finances/books. He gave and I passed it on right then. In the speech it states we are able to make the quilts because of donations of money, fabrics and of course our time. Thank
