kloar 28 Report post Posted November 15, 2012 I haven't been around on the forum much since my husband was deployed to Afghanistan a couple months ago. But, I have been working on a quilt that was inspired by one that Sue Daurio posted in the forum last April using the LynneBobSquarePants pattern. Lo and behold, my quilt accepted as one of the ten finalists in a local contest hosted by the Old Country Store/People Place Museum. If you want to see my quilt named Town Squares, the website is www.mortonmasterpiece.com. I would have posted a picture here but I haven't quite figured out how to post it over from the website. I'm so excited that it was accepted!! 1 RoseCity Quilter reacted to this Quote Kim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whitepinesquilter 367 Report post Posted November 16, 2012 Very pretty quilt and you got my vote! Bless you and your husband for your sacrifices that go with the deployment. Our son-in-law returned from his third tour last July, and it was a tough road for our daughter while he was gone. Know there are many of us here who will do what we can to help through the deployment. Take care!

kloar 28 Report post Posted November 16, 2012 Thank you everyone for your compliments and your votes! It is actually the first one I ever feathered freehand and I have Myrna to thank for that. Please keep my husband in your prayers. His mission is more dangerous than the other deployments and I'm worried about this one. He gets no leave during the year deployment Very pretty quilt and you got my vote! Bless you and your husband for your sacrifices that go with the deployment. Our son-in-law returned from his third tour last July, and it was a tough road for our daughter while he was gone. Know there are many of us here who will do what we can to help through the deployment. Take care! so I won't see him until the end of next September.

Quilting Heidi 1,396 Report post Posted November 17, 2012 Kim I will most definitely keep your hubby in my prayers! My hubby was on active duty for 22 years and had a ton of deployments and I know how hard they can be on you, just trying to keep up with everything but the worry is the worst. Just take it one day at a time. If you ever need anything please let me know. 1 whitepinesquilter reacted to this Quote Quilting 4 U http://community.webshots.com/user/merrih2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
