I love the quilt blocks. I just started starching fabric today. Hopefully I will get caught up soon. Thank you for doing this program to raise money for Hogs for Heroes.
Hmmm the list of donations is missing? Totally looking forward to the cross stitch pattern- what a great idea!
Thank you so much for this generous SAL. It has been fun so far! Looking forward to the cross stitch pattern!
Enjoying this so much! And watching You Tube each Thursday. Thanks so much for the great prizes; I really am excited to get mine and to get this block done.
Thank you so much for the pattern! Supporting veterans is a cause close to my heart. Two of my brothers served in the Navy. God bless you and your team, Lynn
I can’t wait for the cross stitch, looking forward to it. It’s a toss up some days quilting and others cross stitch.
Loving the SAL and what it stands for!
I love your generous heart! What a wonderful way to support our veterans! I grew up as an Air Force brat! Thank you so much for being such a thoughtful & dedicated quilter!
Love this quilt and what you are doing for Hogs for Heroes. Thoughtful, generous and kind.
Everyone from grandpas, uncles, fathers, my husband, and our entire Manchu family (🇺🇸 Army Charlie 2/9 light infantry division) thank you for your efforts to raise money for such an amazing group of men and women, our 🇺🇸 Veterans. Thank you, to you and the PG family for your outpouring love and appreciation. Also for bring everyone together and raising awareness of a wonderful organization. We need to take care of our Veterans…They need our help now.❤XOXO

I’m very sorry to hear of Barb’s death. Although I started quilting after she stopped designing fabric, I sought her collections everywhere and am fortunate to have found and stored away so many of her fabrics, just waiting for the perfect quilt.
Thanks for your generosity and the live tutorials- really enjoying it. Excited about a cross stitch option !
