Re: Military Quilts
I'm a quilter too. I'd be happy to help piece or quilt. Don't have a long arm. I either use my regular sewing machine or hand quilt. I do a lot of hand quilting.

Re: Military Quilts
Awesome! We should have the first one done somewhere around the end of this month (depending on when the uniforms we're expecting arrive). Once we can get that one up it should be easier to see what we're doing and decide the best way to get other quilters involved. I'm so glad to see such a positive response to this project, and to aiding our Veterans. I knew we had an awesome group here!MommaBear wrote:I'm a quilter too. I'd be happy to help piece or quilt.

Quick update:
I signed up for a PO BOX that should make shipping fabrics easier. I will post the address tomorrow when the box number is assigned!

Re: Military Quilts
Just got a call from one of our local tv news networks... they saw one of our posts requesting fabric on the VFWs Facebook page and want to air a story on the project. I'm so excited! I never thought we'd get such overwhelming support for this project but I'm so happy to see others coming forward to show support for the true American heroes.

Maybe it will go national, and no telling where you'd go from there! Is it one of the DFW stations?

Re: Military Quilts
If you happen to be in or near the area on September 24th, my mom and I will be raffling off one of our quilts to help purchase additional supplies for our donation quilts. We are also still looking for any old uniforms, t-shirts, etc. that can be used in the quilts.
For more information about the project check out http://www.somegaveallblog.com/blog/charity

Re: Military Quilts
Be sure to post a photo here of one or two of the first quilts when finished. I think that might give folks a better idea of the materials you need. And besides, I wanna see one.
