Eric's Quilt of Valor

Another injured service member from our area came home this week. Lois pieced this beautiful quilt for him and provided a busy backing, so I wasn't afraid to change thread colors. Carla will be adding the binding and it will be presented to him on Saturday, I believe.



I stitched in the ditch around the main points of these stars and did a lot of meandering.



Some continuous curves, of course.



A border design that I learned from Deloa Jones at Paducah. I've done one border or sashing like this, but she suggested doing a mirror image in next border.

My work here is finished!

I finished Lois' jungle quilt and that means that I can pack my bags and head over to Threads of Time in Danville, IL for a little R&P (rest and piecing) with some friends. Well, after I get off work, that is.



Anyway, back to this quilt that Lois made. She wasn't fond of it when she brought it to me. I chose Lime Tree panto because it reminds me of the trees and vines in a forest. The thread is PermaCore Mother Goose and the batting is Hobbs 80/20.






A few days ago I quilted this Quilt of Valor for a local soldier who was injured and is coming home.
