QOV Weekly Block Challenge

Giddy — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:14:37 GMT

A friend and I are starting 'Operation Valor'! It's basically to promote and inspire people to get involved in making Quilts of Valor. Some may not have time for an entire quilt so this is the solution! We will be emailing and posting on the blog ( www.operationvalor.blogspot.com ) 2 blocks a week for everyone do make and mail to me. 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!

Feel the Teal

Giddy — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 02:37:52 GMT

I put this quilt together with blocks made by the Outlaw Quilters and the Feel the Teal Club. It's a co-effort fundraiser for the Teal Club and cancer awareness. We called the quilts the 'Teal Twins' but there will eventually be three of them I will finish the third in the coming months.

She's finished! I was so fortunate to have a fellow QOVer following my progress on this quilt and emailed me and offered to quilt her for me! THANK GAWDDDD!...I was truly worried, and the quilting on this quilt is just amazing! I couldn't have done it on my standard machine! Pics to follow of the quilting! It's just beautiful! the bus that it's going in is at www.servingproject.org (They are always needing donations to keep this program running! Please help if you can! It's for our hero veterans!) ;)

This is the completed top for my Quilt of Valor #3! I'm looking forward to seeing it 'straitened' out after the quilting is done. Regardless of the 'creative mistakes' I think it turned out fabulous!

My brother's army quilt

Giddy — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 19:47:16 GMT

I wanted to repost my brothers quilt. This day, July 4th...he leaves on his 4th trip to Iraq. I am so proud of my brother and he's one of the reasons I make Quilts of Valor. Here's is a note my sister in law wrote today....thought it was worth sharing with his quilt:

Deployment #4

So the count down has now begun, and all the packing has been done. Camo bags sit by the door, just like the 3 times before. Our home is filled with 3 sad faces, while you go off to far away places. Another year you will be gone, while we wait, trying to be strong. It never gets easier, chancing fate, or living this military life of hurry up and wait. But as you leave on this specific day, I am remind why we live this way. So once again we will watch you go, but not before I am sure you know. That even though without you is hard, and leaves us feeling lonely and scarred. Our love for you will never falter, nor will it ever change or be altered. So stay safe and come home to us, we can't wait to see that big white bus!
