Bert advises the first box of our quilts arrived safely in Afghanistan and they are being distributed to the first platoon. The men were told they couldn't have a quilt without getting a picture taken, LOL! Then he has to send the card from the camera to my daughter who has to then send the pics on to me………so it will still be a while before we “meet” our soldiers.

Oh, the waiting is so hard! But, I’m doing the happy dance in Bedford VA today, wahoo!!

That is awesome news, how many quilts were in the first batch that you sent over. How long did it take for them to receive them?

That's so wonderful to hear, yay!!! I have been following all that you have posted Jan. I'm sorry I couldn't donate any quilts at this time, finances just aren't there for shipping right now. I will continue to follow your threads. Thank you for being so kind and doing this for the troops.
