Four Soldier Quilts
Each year our small guild makes quilts for wounded or deployed soldiers. The last few years it has been deployed soldiers because we have had contact people. My son's unit received the quilts last year (they are due home in a couple months AMEN). This year a Colonel from KY heard about our guild and asked if his unit that is being deployed this summer could receive them? We were amazed that he found out about it and of course said yes. The whole unit will not receive a quilt but he said they would do a drawing. Here are the four I have done. The first is a Disappearing Four Patch from MSQC, second a simple charm square red, white and blue, third and fourth are jelly roll. The last one needs the hand sewing of the binding done. Thanks to our Military!

They are all so nice and thank you so much for your generosity to the military. My son is home safe thank goodness and his unit received home made food which was so welcomed but I think a quilt will be more memorable. Thank you and your guild for your kindness.
