Veteran's Day Salute

Today is Veteran's Day in America. We celebrate and honor those who serve and have served in our military. There are so many fabulous groups that bring attention to this and two of those are the Quilts of Valor and the Honor Flights. We celebrated with my father in law who flew in from New York to Washington, DC on an honor flight in 2016. It was a fabulous time. He served in WWII over in Europe.

Here is the calendar block for today as a tribute to our veterans:

Double Star: 12"

I designed a quilt for my 2017 Block a Day Calendar that uses this block. Lots of stars!

Celebrate Veterans quilt: 56" x 56"

I've made many quilts with an Americana theme - the red, white and blue. This was made almost 25 years ago and given to a veteran's family.

Americana Hearts

And one I made with a reproduction novelty print:

Big Americana Lone Star

I have LOTS of stars in my Quilter's Block a Day Calendar. So many ideas for you!

There are only 7 weeks left before Christmas. Do you have your own copy of my calendar? Do you want to give one to a friend?

Check your local quilt shop for my calendar so you can have your own Double Star pattern, and 365 others! (yes, we've included an extra one for leap years)
