Hi!
I'm Erika and I'm from Ohio/Georgia, stationed in Germany, deployed to Afghanistan. I love quilting! I have a group of ladies that sew, knit and crochet blankets for the Afghan orphanages, hospitals and daycares of the local community that we are in. The work is endless but very fulfilling after a day of work. I enjoy reading the postings on this site. Have a nice day.

Welcome from Oregon. So, are you in the military & you have a group of quilters there in Afghanistan? That is really great. Glad you found this wonderful, friendly, helpful & informative group.

Welcome from Washington state. I am an avid participant in the American Hero Quilts that we ship to Afghanastan for the wounded military that get transported to Germany. Plus my daughter spent 9 years in the Navy and did 3 deployments over there. So welcome aboard and thank you for serving.
