VETERANS DAY

 Today is Veterans Day! I spent the day at the Veterans Memorial Museum. We set up a table and "nominated" about 20 more Veterans for our QOV quilts. 

On a day like today, I wish my father was here. He would have joined me today and helped out. I feel close to him when I can honor veterans. My best friend and father!

One of the people we signed up was a WAV - Navy woman Veteran. She got so emotional that we would honor her with a quilt. She joined about the time I would have, if I would have gone into the military. Dad didn't want me to go in. Women then were not treated right. Most women who served during that time, don't talk about it. We signed her up and will get her a quilt!

Came home around 4:30 pm. I ironed the blue background fabric for one of the QOV quilts. I will take that tomorrow to Connie. I will get the others ready as well. I also got some white fabric for Georgie ready. Called Kathleen to see if she would do another quilt for me. Found out she has my quilt done! I'm so excited!! She thought she already told me it was ready. Said, "nope." I'm excited! I will pick it up tomorrow and then I will get going on the binding. 

Now I'm getting ready to bead some ornaments. I know I have to finish the tapestry. I want to get another ornament done for this year. This time it's Santa's and I will be able to get a gift or 2 done hopefully. I hope that counts as being Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
