Presentation Day!

Today, I was all set for the presentation. It's been almost 2 months since we had a presentation, and we all were looking forward to it. We have our meeting next week and the following week is our sew days. We will see what we can get done. 

But today was a good day for presentation. Mom knew 2 of the veterans personally, so she was excited about giving at least one of the quilts away. We had 6 quilts that were brought down from Bellevue and presented by the gals that made the quilts. I let them know they were more than welcome to become a member of our group. They liked that idea, so I think I will be getting more from them.

We had the honor of honoring these veterans today. 

David Wiggins - Air Force

John Wilcox - Navy

Michael Mozzone - Army

Mel Wedvik - Marine Corps

Neal Maas - Army

Richard Espen - Navy

Donald Bartley - Army

Andrew G Graham - Navy

Since I was having trouble getting my photos to the computer, I will do what I can. Gmail wouldn't let me transfer from my phone to my email. So, I had to use my second email - hotmail - to get it to go through. Took a lot longer than I wanted. lol 

Mom had to give David Wiggins a big hug! This was the one she wanted to honor herself. You can tell they are close. They attend church together. It was an honor to meet him as well. 

This is the 8 Veterans that we had the honor to honor! Mr. Graham (second from the right) is the husband of a good friend a quilter of ours. I will miss not seeing her on Fridays. He is a sweetheart and a lot of fun to be around. 

Came home and just took the rest of the day off. it was fun and I love doing it, but it does take a lot out of me. I did talk my brother into coming and honoring the active-duty group next month. He's got it scheduled and he will help in presenting the quilts. 

As for today, I had more fun giving the quilts away than I did being Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
