It was her quilted portrait of her Marine son Logan who received quilts for wounded soldiers when he almost died in Iraq. Joan's 22" Portrait Quilt is one of 300 of our "Thanking Our Troops--God Bless America Touring Quilts" that are crisscrossing America with all profits from the books and $100 exhibit rental fees going to nonprofits who make quilts for wounded soldiers and families of the fallen. We've sent thousands of dollars to Home of the Brave, The Hugs Project, etc. to Thank Our Troops in this worthwhile project. Hope you'll enter your 22" quilt to tour and receive a free book and chance at $2500 in prizes & ribbons. See photos, entry & rental forms on http://www.heavenlypatchwork.com/ Reserve this exhibit for your next show. I've never had to go up one level by elevator and down another level by another elevator, through the hall, with so many turns to find the auditorium in all my life. I made this trip 6 times hauling three 50 gallon tubs of quilts, nine 10' poles, four 7' poles, racks, bases and 50 lbs of books. It was a challenge to this directionally challenged half-wit. But I made it and got the quilt show set up on time to a very receptive audience who kept me there until 8:30. I didn't get home til 10pm. I showed my 1936 sampler quilt made in a WPA Sewing Room where the women made 50 cents/day in this WPA built library. Love these trips to visit with the friendly rural people. They're so welcoming and receptive even though it can be exhausting. Way to celebrate July 4th with a bang at the Baptist Retirement Center in Oklahoma City, OK where I presented a Centennial Quilt Trunk Show Program and exhibit of 22" patriotic quilts from our "Thanking Our Troops--God Bless America Touring Quilts." What a surprise when the indoor fireworks started popping! And what a treat to sample the fresh peach and blackberry cobbler at the indoor picnic. I thought I'd die when one sweet lady bent over to read the quilt label and her blackberry cobbler went flying off her tray right onto a white quilt. Fortunately all the stain came out. You never know what can happen when you get a bunch of exuberant white hairs together celebrating. Great fun--full of surprises!!! Quilting-Stitches & Crafts Expo attendees loved the 22" patriotic God Bless America Touring Quilts exhibited at the Reno, NV show June 24-26. Oklahoma City is hosting QSCExpos for the second time January 13-15, 2011. Can't wait! Once again Judy Howard and Quilt Artists will sign books and exhibit the "Thanking Our Troops Quilts" after they return from Camp Striker Stables in Baghdad, Iraq to cheer troops over the Christmas Holidays. CD Management hit another home run at its big Original Creative Festival Quilt Show in June in Cincinnati, OH. They gave rave reviews for the "Thanking Our Troops--God Bless America Touring Quilts Exhibit" and said they saw tears in the eyes of some of those reading the heart-warming "thank-yous" to our troops. You can reserve 50-60 of these 22" patriotic quilts for your next show for only $100 and see all 300 photos on www.HeavenlyPatchwork.com. Traveled 4 hours to the Panhandle of Oklahoma to give a children's program "Under the Cover with Grannie Reveals Oklahoma's Secrets" and patriotic "Thanking Our Troops--God Bless America Touring Quilts Exhibit." Children from 3-16 years old sat on the floor and quilters from 60 miles away crowded in to see. Included was one 94 year old quilter who had come the furthest and shared stories about the Great Depression and Dust Bowl Days on the farm. Great fun. They want me to return to give a quilt trunk show program for the quilters. |
