Quilts of Valor Update


These photos show some of the quilts our Richland Center guild made for Quilts of Valor and the soldiers at the VA hospital in Madison Wisconsin.  These and at least 6 others were quilted by Marcia Wachuta of Marcia's Crafty Sewing who generously donated her time to complete these quilts.  


We weren't sure of the total tally at the last meeting but we have at least 12 quilts completed.  One of the members of our guild pieced 6 tops.  Way to go Betty!


Pictured are Marcia, Anita, Linda and myself.

I used  Tonya Ricucci's  Free Pieced Letter technique to add the USA letters.  I also made some free pieced stars shown in this older post.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

I can just imagine the Vets sitting or laying under these wonderfully warm wonders. Each so beautifully and lovely sewn just for them. Bravo Ladies of the thread and needle!

These are great. I donated a bunch of blocks to a local person who makes those. It's so nice to see some completed.
