ALWAYS! You are my inspiration. We will meet up yonder, on some uncloudy day. I hope! :)
I just posted pics of some quilts at http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2012/05/27/an-aside-quilts/. I can’t remember who else asked about these so if you know of somebody who likes quilts you can point it out to them. If I remembered how to post jpegs I’d post them here.
The patriotic-themed quilt is the back of the quilt that I made for a wounded soldier, to be distributed by the Maine Quilter’s Guild. The red white and blue side has “Thank you for preserving our heritage” embroidered on the front and signatures from the assisted living facility here. The photo right after that is the front side of it. It has “Thank you for protecting our future” embroidered on it and signatures from the middle school where I worked at the after-school program. I put all different kinds of cloth in it to show the way of life that our soldiers’ sacrifices enable us to have.
I have a friendship bracelet that I always wear on my wrist, that matches one I sent for this soldier - so I will remember to pray for him. And I do, constantly. I hope and pray that he will heal and that he will know how much respect and love I and so many others have for him and others like him. I hope he can wrap up in the love and appreciation represented by that quilt and be glad for the gift of America and all of us who love and protect her.
