Good morning everyone. Ally is sick today so I'm home from church. I finished my first quilt top last night and now I have to study for my class tomorrow.

Look what Allyson and I are going to start doing. We are going to be making "Freedom Quilts". They are lap quilts for returning war wounded . Believe it or not, Ally is a better quilter than myself. She can stitch a straight line and make perfect corners.

Anyway, are there any wounded vets around here who need a lap quilt? It says here if we know of anyone, they will try to get a quilt to them.

Freedom Quilts

I'll be back on a break to read this thread. I don't know much about this yet.

Sorry to hear about Ally, I hope it's not serious and that she gets better soon.

I think the Lap Quilts are a great idea. You could try contacting the nearest Veterans Hospital or Veterans Groups and see if they will provide any info on any local people who were wounded.

Hi Spooky! Good to see you, sorry Ally is not well today, hope she bounces back soon.

These quilts are a great idea. I'm lucky to sew a button on let alone a quilt. I do a little cross stitch but don't seem to have the time anymore.

I'd contact your local VFW or nearest Veteran's clinic or hospital. If you don't have a VA hospital near you, you may have a VA clinic nearby.

Good luck and thank you and thank Ally for doing this. :)

Hi Spooky! Sorry to hear Ally isn't feeling well. :-(

The Freedom Quilts are absolutely beautiful. I love them.

Keep up the good work, Ally, and please get well soon.
