Thank you

This fleece throw is a thank you gift for a most deserving person.

Finally, Lord Willing

These quilts are the result of a pledge I made for 12 QOV quilts for 2012.  I naively thought I could do 1 a month with my then new Gammill longarm quilting machine.  I can do 1/month now but not then.  I way underestimated the learning curve & health delays. Anyway here are the first 4 of the 12 going to Colorado tomorrow Lord willing.  It's hard to part with something  that has dominated my energies & thinking for 3 years.

Where eagles Dare

I tried a difficult pattern, "Where Eagles Dare."  It's definitely worth working on.

This One Makes Me Want To Salute

This is the brother of the quilt in my last post.  The last one only took around 4 hours to quilt.  The same design took over 7 hours on this quilt because of multiple thread breaks.  But I think this quilt top pattern by Nancy Rink is very regal.

Another QOV

I'm pretty happy with how long it took to do this simple panto - 4 hrs.  The big girls probably do this in 2 but this is down from 7 hrs for me.

QUILTS OF VALOR AWARD

On Sep 10 2014 two coworkers, Valerie Bridges and Tony Gibbons were awarded Quilts of valor.  Valerie retired with 23 years service and among other things was a field trainer, a most vulnerable job in battle during the Iraqi Freedom campaign.  Tony was a medic in Desert Storm and was a sharp shooter and grenade specialist.
