Giddy — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:08:31 GMT

Another for the Modern Giddy line. It's very simple but it feels so vintage with the stitching!

Patriotic Warriors

This is a Purple Heart Quilt of Valor I presented to the Sgt of Arms at my American Legion over the weekend. It was truly a pleasure to give Richard his QOV in his time of need especially. He just started radiation treatments and he needs this quilt to keep his spirits up!

This is how my youngest son wanted his quilt done. His favorite colors and the 'hatchet man'. A logo for one of the bands he likes. I love the way it's looking!

Gary and Sharon Blackshear are very dear friends of mine and it was such a treat to give Gary's dad his Quilt of Valor. Gary said it was only the second time he'd ever seen his dad cry! Here's a quick video clip of it if you'd like to see it....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVeIfYOet6U it's only about a minute long. and YES that man is 80!!! lol and he still fly's his own plane, does pilates, and plays tennis twice a week! I don't know how he does it!

Operatoin Valor Quilt of Valor #2

Giddy — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 07:06:28 GMT

Sorry for the sloppy pics. Have been using my phone since my camera died on me and I can't get the dang thing to take a decent picture unless it's when I don't have make up on or something! LOL, but this is the 2nd QOV from the weekly block challenges. They were smaller than the others so that's why I grouped them together instead of a sampler but I just love how they turned out!. All three that I've posted will be finished by QOVSB (Tina Reed, KS) and displayed in the upcoming exhibit in KS at a museum special from Sept. thru November and then presented to warriors.

Giddy — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 06:46:54 GMT

This was sort of my first 'modern' quilt. I love modern quilts and I love the way this one turned out! Crash is my tattoo artist and is expecting his first son. They were perfect for the first modern attempt!

Legendary Buffalo Chip, Sturgis 30th Anniversary - backside quilting detail

Giddy — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 06:41:32 GMT

I don't mind showing how imperfect my quilting is because I know that every time I practice I might get just a tad better every time. I will never be a show quilter by any means. (I"m bipolar NOT OCD! LOL ) I admire those quilters with the artistic talent and patience it takes to do what they do! They ARE the ones who inspire me to at least try!

The Legendary Buffalo Chip, Sturgis - 30th Anniversary

Giddy — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 06:16:45 GMT

I was asked to make this quilt for the Buffalo Chip for their Anniversary. I didn't get any really good pictures of it because I was behind schedule :( but it was the first time I did any kind of thread work with metallic thread :| ... I was NOT a happy camper but it turned out better than I thought it would. The center skull is about 7 different shades of metallic and rayon thread.

I will put them together into QOVs to help with the major shortage they are having right now. If your interested please email your info to operationvalor1@gmail.com Thanks!

Raffle Quilt

Giddy — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:03:45 GMT

This quilt will be raffled at my American Legion for a Rider that went down last month on one of our fundraisers. He was road guarding for our group when he hit some gravel and went down and sustained severe facial injuries among others. :( But he's on the mend and grateful is was ONLY injuries that will heal.
