Thanking Veterans..........

Thanking U.S. Military Veterans............

It's what I enjoy doing most,
especially where the art of quilting is concerned!

My Uncle Lee whom I have told you all about before was a Baptist Minister for over 50 years.  He always told us kids growing up, "the highest compliment that can ever be paid to a speaker is an invitation to come back."  Well, I have to agree with him, as I was asked to return to the Stitch'N Time Quilt Guild in Warrenton, Missouri to award some Quilts of Valor, courtesy of Quilts of Valor, Eastern Missouri.

"THANK YOU!" is the only way you can caption this photo.

I love how this quilter is reaching out to a Veteran,

with a Quilt of Valor in the background.

I was honored to award the

quilts made from the quilt blocks

donated by the Missouri State Quilters Guild

to these deserving Veterans at the Stitch'N Time Quilt Guild 

in Warrenton, Missouri.

These quilts were quilted by the following guild members:

Kim, Marcia, Cheri, and Joan.

They all did a beautiful job on the quilting of these!

The gentleman on the left was awarded his

quilt courtesy of his loving niece, Judy, who made

his QOV for him.

It was a wonderful presentation.

There was a receiving line of thanks afterward

which was VERY touching.

In other news..............

I hope you all had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!?!?!?

No trick or treaters came out to the

Quilt Cave.  I didn't expect any to

as my abode is quite secluded.

However,...............

I did work with this character on the plane this past weekend!

GOOOOOOOOOOO BACON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOLOLOLOLOL

It is wonderful when I get to work with a fun crew like this!

Half square triangles are adding up..............

hmmmm............

I likey! I likey!!!!!

We will see where this goes with the addition of several other colors!

These fun patriotic blocks were donated by my friend Dot.

Her sister in law, Barb, passed away this past summer.

Dot and some of her friends had the painful task of going through
Barb's sewing room.  When Dot found these, she knew she wanted

them to go to Quilts of Valor, Eastern Missouri.

It will be an honor to put these blocks to good use in 

honor of Barb!

A few months ago my friend Cheri asked if I would take 

some blue fabrics off of her hands..........SURE!

This is what she gave me!

YARDAGE!

These will be perfect for a multitude of uses!

Thanks so much Cheri!

I leave for the International Quilt Festival in 

Houston in a couple of days!!!!

Make sure to come up and introduce yourself

if you see me?

I will be pretty hard to miss!

I have already made some plans to meet some of you!
YEAH!

Keep on Scrap Quilting!

Thanks for all of the encouragement!
