    I am new to quilting in this past year. However I have now taken on a huge project. My son is an Officer in theNavy and is
    heading out for his first cruise the end of May. The Navy Mom's have a project where they make pillowcases for the men and women of the arm forces so they have a touch of home when they get into their bunks. I have just purchased all the fabric I think I will need and getting my daughter and daughter in law over to help cut out while I sew. We will have an assembly line going. I have got some great fabrics to help the men and women that someone back home appreciates their service. I hope I can meet this challenge. I live in Des Plaines IL and have my bedroom also set up as a sewing room. Wish me luck everyone. And I really enjoy everyone's posts.

    Welcome from central Alabama. What a great project. It is hard to decorate your bunk, pillowcases are a great idea.
