61 quilts sent out to Fallen Soldiers Families
Well we have had some year with harvest being late winter storm and all. Today we decided before we end up with another winter storm to haul off to Fedex 61 quilts for fallen soldiers families. The quilts had been ready to go for some time but we couldn't because of the weather. God is good he gave us an opening so we can get these quilts out. The car was full and so was the truck of the car but it felt so good to have them sent off. Dennis did the stacking I could never get that many stack in the truck or back seat of the car. Alot of thanks go to the ladies of Oskaloosa who came to my aid when I ask if they could help with the children quilts. We had families where we had to come up with either 2 or as high as eight quilts to a box because of the children. With out the Oskaloosa ladies I wouldn't have been able to get the job done. Now I have to get busy again so I can send another bunch of quilts out to families of our fallen. We are proud to say we are close to 6,700 quilts given out. We will soon be working on our fundraiser yes I got the quilt top all done and Dennis will be machine quilting it. He does an awesome job quilting so he has that job. We still tie quilts but the ones with pictures we machine quilt and if Dennis has time he will quilt those without pictures also but mainly pictures quilts are the ones loves to quilt. Happy New Year everyone. Thanks everyone that have continue to help us out your wonderful.
