VETERAN QUILTS

VETERAN QUILTS: By this point, the veterans quilts are becoming a team effort with some other stitchers and I. The supplies and time are all still donated. They are made assembly line style with each person doing a portion of the process - I still end up teaching and supervising, but it is a wonderful project and one I feel so privilaged to be part of. Our soldiers deserve to know they are cared about. These were donated thru the local guild on 3/10/2009 to Quilts for Wounded Soldiers program and the guild was kind enough to pay the shipping. Those of us who are working on these quilts now (as our crazy schedules allow) all wish we could do more for our wounded heroes, but this is the job we can do so we continue. For sewing groups or quilting groups out there, please don't be shy about getting involved in this worthy project - our troops deserve our love and respect. They are not looking for works of art, but for well made, comfy quilts to snuggle in as they recover from their injuries. The quilts are given to them as they arrive at Andrews AFB, and the quilts are theirs to take thru recovery and beyond - a reminder that they are cared about by we - the people of America.
