The war on Irag has left me feeling helpless. The thousands killed is sad, but many more thousands are hurt and maimed, permanently changed by war.
When my friend Judy spoke at my quilt guild about Quilts of Valor, I thought there is something I can do. So I dutifully made a quilt and sent it off as a token of respect and love to an injured soldier. There, done, did my share. I have a longarm quilting business to take care of, so I went back to working for money to pay the bills of the shop. It certainly keeps me busy enough.
Then I read an email in the longarm list on which I lurk. There are soldiers going without these quilts --they can't be made fast enough. So now I am trying to quilt one top a month for Quilts of Valor so that no soldier will go without this small comfort. I don't think I can quilt fast enough some days.
