    These quilts were made as Round Robins and block swaps with many cadet and grad parents. All are quilted with stars and swirls.

    If by a fluke any of you know Jack Bernazzani, please don't tell him about the quilt that was made for him. It is a surprise for all he has done for AFA cadets and won't be presented until Labor Day weekend.

    Thanks,

    Diane

    With a son in the AF and he is an AFA grad, I agree they are our most valued possessions!

    I'm so sorry about your friend. I can't imagine what memories you bear after working in the medical field in a war zone. God bless you.

    I would be very happy to contribute to making a quilt for anyone who personally knows a soldier they would want to send a gift of loving stitches. I have a group of USAFA moms of cadets and grads and we do all the quilts for the yearly raffle at the Academy. I also have made quilts for my son when deployed and others that I know. Red, White and Blue are my favorite colors and I love Patriotic quilts.

    Do you have a first name we can refer to you by?

    Diane
