Susan and I decided to tackle my scrap baskets today and make mission quilts. She pulled fabric, ironed and sorted into same size strips. I basically sat and sewed most of the day on the ones with many colors. She was on the serger sewing the ones with fewer pieces. She also serged several backers that I had cut and had ready to sew. All together it was a very productive day! However my scrap baskets are still full!!!

Today the quilters presented Wayne Satterlee with a patriotic quilt to thank him for his service in both the Army and the Marines.

6 years ago we had presented quilts to all the veterans who were connected to our church at that time.

Thank you to all the veterans and thank you for your service!!!
