I'm still here. Still quilting. Still donating. Although I have another blog about selling quilts, I still have this site for people who want to donate directly.
Take a moment this month and make a donation to Intrepid Fallen Heroes. They are helping our troops recovering from battlefield injuries. Check out their page on Intrepid Spirit Centers. These centers provide treatment near the soldier's home base so the family does not have to be uprooted or travel long distances. It takes about $11 million dollars to build each center. Obviously, every little bit helps.
Donate $10 get a block. Donate $200 and get a whole quilt made in your honor. Blocks and quilts made during the month of November go to veteran's organizations. They want full size quilts, so need to make a lot of blocks.
Help spread the word, share this post.

Finished - Veteran's Quilt
I finished it. It came out quite nice if I do say so myself. I wanted to complete it by Veteran's Day. Looks like I am ahead of schedule.
The pattern is Courthouse steps. The center is medallion of Declaration of Indepence fabric. It's quilted with stars in blue and red on the white spaces. The border is patriotic hearts.
It is going to Blankets of Hope. With luck, some military person will enjoy it. If I can figure out the shipping. Finding a box to fit a full size quilt is going to be interesting.
Don't forget Veteran's Day is in November. You can show your support for our troops by donating to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes on the right.

Celebrating Freedom - Fourth of July
Today we celebrate the day our Founding Fatherf told Merry Olde England to get lost. We were sick of paying taxes (some things never change) and being told what to do by an unresponsive government (again, some things never change).
We had to fight to gain our independence. That fight goes on today. Not only for our democracy but for democracy around the world. Our troops continue to protect our freedom. Many make the ultimate sacrifice. Those who don't may come home wounded. Wounds both visible and invisible.
The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund helps those who return home. Today, you can help their work by making a donation. Everyone who donates today to IFHF will have a special patriotic block made in their honor. The quilt made from those blocks will go to Blankets of Hope which provides "comfor and hope for recovery to our Wounded Heroes." What a great way to say thank you twice.
Don't forget you can donate enough for a whole quilt too. Just a $200 donation makes a whole quilt for a wounded soldier.
As you are bbqing today and setting off fireworks (illegal in Montgomery County and other places) take a moment and donate today.
