    Happy Veterans Day

    Thank you to all who have served and/or are serving and the families. Thank you for all your sacrificies.

    The local newspaper had the following article on the front page. Veterans and quilters - you can't get better than that. (P.S. I hope this isn't a duplicate post. I tried earlier but never saw it.)

      Yes, thanks to ALL our Veterans for what they have sacrificed for all of us!

      I have a Quilts of Valor quilting group meeting at MY house tonight - how appropriate is that!??

      We started meeting a couple years ago, and have gradually moved from all kinds of needle arts to this new direction -

      After helping in the Quilts of Valor Foundation booth at Quilt Festival I am even more motivated to working with this wonderful organization whose goal is providing quilts for every wounded service person (man or woman) who comes home!

      Check them out at http://QOVF.org.

        Sandy, that was a great story! I forwarded it to my inlaws - they are 85 years old and he served in WWII and she is a quilter. Thanks to all our veterans!!!

            Sandy, thanks for posting the link to that article. It gave me goosebumps to read it. I think that all veterans should have today off instead of all government workers. Many, many veterans are working hard today.

              Here's a short videoclip of my local quilt guild, Piecemakers By The Bay, that was taken yesterday by a reporter from the Corpus Christi Caller Times. There's just a tiny glimpse of me in one scene, but you can see lots of my quilting buddies and the quilts we're working on.

                That was a nice write up. I know each quilt was accepted with Love. Its always great to see them come home.

                  As one of 23 million veterans in the US, I say - Thank you for your comments! I served 11 years in the Navy and am appreciative for the freedom we enjoy and the experiences that came along with serving my country!

                    I'm so appreciative of all of our Veterans, too! My husband served in Vietnam and my Dad in WWII.

                      Here is a wonderful tribute to our veterans. Grab a box of tissues first. Not one word is said, it's a very sweet story.
