Remember, my internet access is very slow, it'll take forever to upload these dozen or so. I'll try to give you details as I post, too.
Look at their adorable faces! Aren't they just babies?!

That is absolutely wonderful seeing the soldiers get their quilts. I have never seen any pictures of the ones that I have helped work on, but then again it might be to depressing seeing the wounded soldiers with theirs. These are priceless and it makes everything so real. Great job you are doing!
Thanks,

I don't think he's homesick. It's more likely that he's wishing the photog would hurry up already. Things to do, you know, and with constant interruptions.
Cool pix. I made a blanket to keep my soldier warm. It really makes a difference. Imagine working 14 hr days 7 days a week and freezing while trying to sleep. Bless everyone who makes and sends comfort from home.
A great blanket for those without artificial heat is actually an afghan with a flannel backing. It molds to the body and works well in conjunction with whatever they're already using.
I'm sure you got permission to post the pix. Just an FYI for others, always get permission. I can't even post my soldier with a visible name tape and yet I see OPSEC/PERSEC violating pix all over the net.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting this Jan, looks like one of mine went to Vargas, the other to the last soldier or his buddy. I think I enjoyed seeing this as much as the Guys getting them.
Good grief now I'm all weepy, the last pict was of one that found in Mom's stash after she passed, when I saw the post thought of how this was something she'd think was neat, so I sent it. It's the surfer teal and black fab. Put together by a lady that was fun to be with, and a would hope this brings you joy and warmth. :) As I do !!!
