All Out of Quilts Of Valor….Can you help?

Quilts of Valor Needed
I was touched by this post by Judy Laquidara at Patchworktimes.com. Wounded soldiers at Fort Carson, COLO are on the waiting list for quilts. The quilt pantry is empty. If you can help please go to Alycia’s blog for details. Evidently the quilts DO NOT HAVE to be Red, White and Blue.
THANKS!

Many of you know Alycia and are familiar with her blog and her continued and very dedicated work to the QOV program. No matter our feelings towards the war or the politics of the war, I think we all support our troops and the sacrifices they’ve made. I trust Alycia absolutely with the quilts she receives and she has excellent contacts for getting the quilts where they need to be.
Alycia posted this blog post – she is totally out of quilts and has a waiting list. On that post, Alycia has the minimum size and other requirements. The quilts do not have to be patriotic colors! PLEASE look at your quilts and see if you have anything that’s finished that you can send, or anything that’s almost finished that you can send.
Here is a link to Alycia’s Blog Post.

Hi Shirley!! I can’t seem to find your email addy so I am commenting here…If there is no red white or blue in the quilts – that is perfectly okay. I am always amazed at how the right quilt finds its owner, and it is just what they wanted. Hope that helps. Thank you for you help! Alycia
