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!

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.

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.
