Quilting Heidi Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Rita, I see you finally got all your pictures uploaded. What a great job you did. I'm so proud that you do all of these QoV quilts! Such a wonderful thing you do for the troops! Thank you for your dedication and contribution to a fantastic cause! Great job!

RitaR Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Unfortunately Heidi, I may have to drop out of doing for QoV...One gal sent me two tops, two backs for $7.56, I think it was Maryland or New Jersey. After quilted it cost me $15. something, to mail them back. I am going to switch to Dream Puff.. it is lighter per yard, and less expensive .. Still, with cost of batting, threads, marking costs, and quilting it, and the shipping.. is just coming to be too much after the big cut in retirement income. I don't know if it would be proper to explain that and ask again about the costs. I have asked the piecers to let me deliver them to Fort Brag, several, at a time, instead of mailing them back. so far almost all insisted I mail them back. Anyway just a minor problem to ponder over for a while. Thenks for the sweet words Heidi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestieMom Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Rita, I really like your QOV's. They're wonderful and you're wonderful for quilting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBQLTN2 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Way to go Rita We have delivered some of our quilts of valor to Womack in the past, not sure if they are still taking them there or not. But if I find out I will let you know. Great job on your quilts!! I love that fabric that looks like fireworks too. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennan100 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 These are so good, Rita! I hate that this is costing so much, seems like your quilting should be all the burden you should have to carry on these, I thought they supplied battingand postage, too. You'd have to handle the Quilting and the thread. I hope you don't have to give it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Beautiful Rita the military guys and girs are going to love them!!! Could you do the 3 I have waiting on me? I'm surprized that you are providing materials. When the local organizations sends me quilt tops they give me the top, backing and batting. I supply the thread and time. I hope you can continue.

RitaR Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Thank you for all the kind words... Jeanne, we only live about 30-35 miles from Womac and that's where the quilts go that I piece and quilt. They are still taking quilts, will for a long time, since they changed to let us give quilts to ANY soldier who was wounded or became ill from Any war. I have 2 or 3 right here in town. Two work in the garden area of Walmart. Connie, if you'd like them quilted, I'd be honored to do it.. just let me know what is wanted, and when you ship them.. Oh, I could get free batting, but only if I take 10 rolls at the same time. Just NO storage for more than one or two rolls. Rita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
