Gina and her family went 'row by rowing' earlier this summer gathering license places and kits along the way.
Yesterday, she brought in the quilt she made and shared with us for 'show and tell'. Her precious little boy, Colton, wanted in one of the pictures so, we had to oblige!
Thanks, Gina for sharing your quilt with us! We love the different rows and plates.

The strippers were here: yesterday was our 'work' day for "Quilts of Valor". This group of 'strippers' made it all happen.
After several hours of stripping, all strips were cut, counted and made into kits.
They came. They stripped. They counted. They made kits. They ate pizza for lunch. They had a great time!
Thanks ladies for all your hard work. We couldn't have done this without you!

Alice promised to get the name of this pattern so we can have them in the shop. YIPPEE!!! I can't wait!
Our "Secret Sisters" reveal party was held last night.
For the past six months eleven ladies have been a 'sister' to someone while a different person was being a 'sister' to her.
We feasted on Sweetness' world famous lasagna and side dishes brought by the 'sisters' before learning who our 'sisters' have been.
Two of our 'sisters' weren't able to attend so, we'll arrange for them to meet their 'sister' another time.
Dorothy received money and snacks from her 'sister' earlier this month.

Last night's festivities started off by singing "Happy Birthday" to Shirley, who turned 65 yesterday.
Sandy received this adorable camo jumper from her sister (Vicki W.) for Kaylee Ann who should arrive in November!

Pat received a bunch of kitchen stuff from her sister (Shirley) who knew Pat collects teapots.
Shirley made an assortment of tea pot themed hot pads and tea towels and added a "teapot" napkin holder and red salt/pepper shakers!

I didn't get a picture of the teapot with it's lid on but, it was super cute!

Cathy's sister (Missy) was unable to attend last night but left a gift certificate for her.
I failed to take a picture of Cathy opening her gift certificate, sorry Cathy (and Missy). It's so hard to get good help these days.

Diane's sister (Sharon) made this ironing board cover using Kansas Troubles prints for her reveal gift.
