Quilt
Project
Update
November

2008
I am
very
proud
to
say
that
we
have
been
able
to
ship
another
18
handmade
quilts
to
our
brave
veterans.
As
many
of
you
know,
Jean
Yeo,
Barb
Back
and
I
make
quilts
throughout
the
year
for
our
wounded
veterans.
Each
year,
leading
up
to
the
Color
Tour,
we
spend
a
week
quilting
our
hearts
out,
including
one
day
where
we
invite
those
who
may
be
interested
to
join
us
making
the
quilt
tops.
We
really
appreciate
all
of
those
who
have
helped
by
donating
quilts,
money,
time
and
material
so
we
can
continue
with
this
effort.
We
have
volunteers
not
only
within
our
group,
but
also
from
many
parts
of
the
country
that
help
in
this
effort.
We
have
a
LTC's
wife
in
Albuquerque
who
quilts
many
of
the
quilt
tops
for
us
and
her
mother
does
her
part
by
binding
them.
We
never
turn
down
any
help,
even
being
willing
to
teach
people
to
sew
when
they
say
they
want
to
help.
Some
of
you
may
or
may
not
know
about
the
Blue
Star
Mother's,
a
dedicated
group
who
all
have
family
overseas
fighting
for
our
freedom.
They
are
very
busy
women
who
donate
thousands
of
hours
doing
whatever
they
can
to
help
our
soldiers.
To
date
we
have
donated
in
excess
of
60
quilts,
lap
robes
and
blankets
to
our
wounded
veterans
through
both
the
Blue
Star
Mothers
and
Disabled
American
Veterans
groups.
Our
quilts
have
been
shipped
to
Landstuhl
Medical
Center
in
Germany,
Walter
Reed
Medical
Center
in
Maryland
as
well
as
veterans
hospitals
here
in
Michigan.
The
Blue
Star
Mothers
had
one
of
our
quilts
on
hand
to
give
to
one
of
our
veterans
returning
from
Germany
only
to
discover,
low
and
behold,
he
already
had
one.
He
is
still
in
the
hospital
recovering
from
severe
burns
and
his
wife
is
staying
with
him,
so
she
also
has
one
of
our
quilts
now.
May
God
bless
and
watch
over
them.
I
recently
had
the
honor
of
meeting
the
mother
of
one
of
our
quilt
recipients
and
she
told
me
how
much
her
daughter
appreciated
her
quilt.
She
loves
it
so
much
and
was
so
happy
with
all
the
love
that
enveloped
her
when
she
wrapped
up
in
it;
she
said
she
wanted
to
be
buried
with
that
quilt
when
it
was
her
time.
I
could
not
bring
myself
to
ask
if
her
wounds
were
life
threatening,
I
only
know
that
her
daughter
loved
her
quilt
and
that
was
all
I
needed
to
know.
No
words
can
describe
how
honored
we
feel
to
be
able
to
work
on
this
project
for
our
unselfish
patriots.
