Fons and Porter's magazine had a competition back in 2005 encouraging people to make quilts for wounded soldiers. Janie and Nikki McDonald each made quilts (#1 and #2 on this blog) and sent them away. As time went by, more and more US troops were deployed and were being injured, so we felt a strong need to do more. A few quilts later, we have over 100 quilters involved and several sponsors. The need will always be there. Individually, we cannot accomplish nearly as much as we can when we all work together. Thanks so much for your help! Here are a few pictures of our guild members at work...
