Thursday Thought

From the beginning of this year’s celebration of National Sewing Month, my focus is on creating quilts.

Yesterday and the day before, I shared a couple of ways to create the Glory Be block. I wanted to let you know, over on the Facebook group Lone Star of Texas Quilts of Valor, we have a block drive event going on using the Glory Be pattern in reds whites and blues!

Make one, seven, or a bunch then mail to Michelle!

Deadline for the blocks (to be in her hands) is November 1^st. She will put them together and make as many Quilts of Valor as possible! It takes 39-48 blocks per quilt (depending on a border)! I wonder how many quilts she will be able to make?

This is one she's putting together with blocks already received!

It all depends on generous service-minded folks like you & me!

P.S. Besides the examples I did for you yesterday, I've also created several like this one - all for the block drive!

Sorry for the poor photo quality! However, you can get the general idea!

What a wonderful way to remember 9/11/01 and 9/11/12... be part of a National Service!
