new to group, I make Quilts of Honor
I love to make quilts and I am involved in making quilts for veterans, called Quilts of Honor a quilted hug of gratutide. Currently making quilts for the Purple Hearts convention in April in Branson MO. We have a group that gets together once a month to work on our quilts. We will be presenting 150 quilts. We won't be making them all they will come from the Quilts of Honor groups. It is so rewarding to see the smiles and a few tears when we award them a quilt, it makes me want to keep makeing more. We have also made QOH for the Viet Nam veterans chapter.
My kids, grand kids and great grand kids all have my quilts so devote my sewing to this cause.
Would love suggestions for Purple Hearts Quilts.
I love Jenny's Block magazine and have used lots of her patterns. I just finished the top in red and white using her Hunter's Star pattern. it is so much easier to make then the old regular pattern. No Y seams! I am going yo use a blue backing and binding so it has a little blue on the front. I am thinking of make it in purple and white, I will test a block and see how I like it.
Looking forward to hints and ideas from all of you.
