11/11/11 Remember

As I write I am listening to the Last Post.  I am so grateful for those that are in the military and work and fight on my behalf to make life better somewhere else in the world.  As much as I would like the world to be disarmed I know how naive that it is.  So thank you.  My little effort, in conjunction with my friend Janet, is to make quilts for Quilts of Valour, an organization that makes quilts for soldiers who are wounded.  I hope they give some comfort and a sense of appreciation for their sacrifice.

If you look closely, there are a lot of maple leaves in this!

Spring! I think

As I write it is half raining and half snowing.  A great day to be working indoors.  And I have been working!  My friend Janet and I have made 2 quilts for Quilts of Valour.  Here is one that is just missing the binding.

Then I did a mystery quilt with the guild and am very pleased with the look of it.  Now to figure out a quilting design.  This is only a part of it - it's a double bed size.

Our guild does a raffle quilt every year and this year it will be a New York Beauty.   So these are the two blocks that I've made to contribute.

There are a few more projects underway, so stay tuned!
