I lay awake last night fretting over the accuracy in the patterns I've sent everyone. I'm used to writing and drawing these things, but I've rarely sent them out before I've made a test block to check the cutting measurement, etc.
In this instance, there was not time to design, write, email over 100 people, be on the boards, eat, shower, and sleep for the past 4 days, much less sew for testing before emailing! PLEASE let me know if you find mistakes so I can at least correct them in my files and forgive me for inconveniencing you as it certainly wasn't intentional!
I have to assume those here are at least familiar enough with the craft to work out issues they come across, but I am more than willing to answer any question...by phone, email, on the board, whatever.
I love you all!

The first quilt for Bert's boys in Afghanistan has arrived in VA from Mic-Pa in PA! Thank you!!!!
It's getting really exciting and the energy ante has been upped on my end of this endeavor as I plan how to receive, catalog, send thank you's, quilt, photograph, and re-ship these warm fuzzies. I know you all are working away as well and I send love and encouragement as you piece a hug into each quilt we send.
I do not have a camera that I know how to work so pictures will be delayed. I suggest each of you post one of what you are
sending so others can be in on the fun.

Jan your downloads worked perfect. Thank you so much for taking on this project, which seems to have grown to a huge undertaking. My son is home this week, he leaves for Afganistan next month. I have taken your idea and offered to send him a quilt for whoever in is company wants one.
