The best thing about blogging....

...for me has been all the wonderful folks I've met in Blog-Land!  It's not so much fun to be a lone ranger with no one to share my quilting adventures.

One of the nice folks I've met is Debbie at Stitchin' Therapy... she of the "I need to make a zillion doll-sized quilts before Christmas" adventure, who turned it into a online group project titled Get Your Mrs. Claus On!

Well, Mrs. Claus.... I mean, Debbie recently presented me with the Liebster Blog Award!  

 

The Liebster Rules are:

1. Post about your win on your blog.
2. Link back to the blogger who presented you with the award.
3. Copy and paste the award to your blog.
4. Present the Liebster Award to 5 blogs that have less than 200 followers that you think deserve  to be recognized. 
5. Let them know by leaving a comment on their blog. 

So, I'm gonna share some blogs that I enjoy that you may not have visited yet.... and spread some bloggy love!

• Tink's Mom at Selina Quilts  - currently working on making cool granny square quilt blocks!
• Miki at Miki's Fabric Creations - does some cool stuff with made fabric!  Check out her house blocks...
• Michelle at Daisy Hill Quilts - not only does she make beautiful quilts, Michelle has gorgeous flowers growing in her yard and raises the cutest chickens!
• Alycia at Alycia Quilts - goes thru more fabric than anyone else I know in her QOV project in Colorado!
• Sheila at Sew, Cook, and Travel  - a motorcycling quilter who recently retired and is free to get into all sorts of quilty fun!

I hope you'll visit these fine ladies and see what all they've been up to lately... 

Quilts of Valor

Alycia of AlyciaQuilts is a long-arm quilter and part of a Quilts of Valor project in Colorado.  

She and a group of quilters are providing quilts to the Warriors in Transition Battalion at Fort Carson Mountain Post in Colorado.  The battalion can house up to 775 wounded soldiers at one time.

Alycia delivers these quilts to the soldiers and veterans and often posts photos of these men and women with their quilts....  brings a tear to my eye every time. 

Unfortunately, the need for QOVs continues and Alycia and her group have run out of quilts to donate to the wounded soldiers coming into Fort Carson.... and so she has put out a call for any completed quilts so these wounded warriors can find comfort knowing that people care.

The quilts do not have to be red, white, and blue... or even have a patriotic theme.   Information about size range and other requirements are posted on Alycia's blog. 

If you can help out, I'm sure your donation will be greatly appreciated and loved.  If you're not able to help right now, I hope you'll consider this endeavor in the future.
