Deb, Kathy and I had lunch to talk quilts and fabrics and then headed over to the Community Church of Columbus where the local group meets every Monday morning to work on quilt tops and bindings. Their periodic showings of the quilts completed over the last few months is always stunning and today's exhibit was right on target with 160 quilts on display. Take a look....

| The selection of red, white and blue quilts up front was beautiful, with lots of stars in the mix. |
 |
| Ken made this quilt - a nice southwestern theme. You can see the cacti and the stetson hats quite clearly. You have to look close to see the boots - you can see the heel and upper part of the boot. While the fabric he chose for the foot part of the boot is spot on when compared to actual boots, it fades into the background fabric in this picture. |
 |
| I vaguely remembered quilting the quilt with yellow sashing and when I looked up close - sure enough! |
 |
| The mixture of friendship stars and the white chain blocs are wonderful in this quilt. |
 |
| Another quilt with friendship stars. The light stripes includes red, white and blue star s on a light background. |
 |
| The aqua quilt above Kathy's head (far left) was made by Alice. It's a lovely design and beautifully done. |
 |
| Love the bright thread - I don't have this thread....yet! |
 |
| Susan was on a roll and completed 8 postage stamp quilts. They look great from a distance as well as up close. |
 |
| I'm becoming a lover of scrappy quilts - or is it the chains running through them? |

The quilts of valor are beautiful! They look wonderful hanging on the stage. I hope they encourage the soldiers who receive them.
ReplyDeleteI love the scrappy look too :-)
We get notes from several soldiers who receive the Quilts of Valor. They are so appreciative of this gift of love and support. The Columbus chapter is quite prolific and I'm proud to have quilted some of these quilts.
