Then on Wednesday, we set a record at our monthly Quilts of Valor meeting. We had 129 ladies come and sew all day. We have now presented 987 quilts to our Veterans since this group first got together. It has sure grown in 7 or 8 years of existence. I was so busy sewing on bindings as they were being finished and taken off the quilting frames, that I forgot to take pictures of our finished ones for the day. We completed a bunch. I was pooped when I got home and had to take a nap.!
Next I finished quilting a couple customer quilts that have been waiting patiently for attention --
I quilted this with hot pink thread using a pantograph called Featheration. My customer was pleased with the thread choice because her granddaughter just loves the color -- hot pink.
That about brings me up to speed for the week. Hope you are having a fun and productive week too.
My thoughts and prayers go out to those in Hurricane Sandy's path and hope that they are getting their lives put back together.
Ooooo - some pretty quilts on your blog today :*) Love your fun pillow cases too! It's good to see that there is still so much interest in supporting our military in the quilt community. Our efforts could not be better utilized!
