Veteran's Quilts

In early November, My friend Pat and myself delivered 62 quilts and 25 pillowcases to the VA Hospital in Durham, NC.  They will be given to the patients who come into their hospice program.

The volunteer coordinator told us that they gave out 145 quilt last year.

The hospice unit will be relocated to a separate building, which is under construction, later this year.

All the quilts that we delivered were made by our bee in Zebulon and by the Pine Tree quilters from Apex.  

Most of the quilts are lap size up to single bed quilts.  My friend Pat makes several quilts for Veterans each year. 

Such a privilege to deliver them. 

Back to Normal - Whatever that is

Ben and Daniel loved their quilt!

One of my favorite pictures from the wedding is this informal one of the girls and grand daughters!

The grandsons - wow I look pretty short!

Back in February, S and I started making blocks from this pattern by Bonnie Hunter, called Dawn's Early Light in one of the 100 quit blocks magazines.  S has hers finished.  I finished 64 blocks for the quilt center a couple of weeks ago.  There are so many ways this can be set. 

I loved this one but went with the one below.

Good grief - I had one corner wrong and had to take out several blocks.

The center measures 72 x 72".

Working on the borders!
