Enjoying the quilt along – picked up the cross stitch pattern and will be trying it on larger weave fabric for a more primitive look. Thanks for giving us something to look forward to every week!
So enjoying this SAL. So happy the donations are climbing. Thx Lisa for all you do for us. Love everything PG.
THANK YOU Lisa for hosting such a wonderful stitch along! Once I get to move into our new house I’ll actually start!
Love and hugs from Texas!
Oooo! A secret prize! I love secrets, as long as they’re not my secrets! Thanks so much for for doing this sew along, I love to see everyone’s progress and all of the blocks popping up on social media.
Thank you for the weekly tutorials for this sew along. Has been really fun! Can’t wait to see the HOG and the recipient!
Love this week’s block and this stitch along! So happy that you have surpassed your original goal and a deserving veteran will be receiving a hog. Thanks for all you do Lisa!
Everything about this SAL and fund raiser is amazing! Thank you, Lisa!
This is such a cute and unexpected block. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talents for this SAL. I need to get caught up. Thanks again.
I love this block. I think I will sail back up to Wisconsin.
I love everything about today’s blog! The sailboat block is such a cute addition the quilt; supporting Katie, a military wife, is awesome; and seeing the love that Hogs for Heroes is getting is so incredible. Not every soldier gets that kind of understanding, and believe me when I say, transition to civilian life is a long, hard road. Thank you, Lisa, for your heart to this mission. You are making a difference. 💕
I am loving this fabric line and sew along! Thanks for hosting and supporting such a worthy cause!
love this block…..really great design…thank you for all you do for the vets
So dang cute!! Working on the cross stitch in between blocks…..she created a great and easy to read pattern.
Your instructions are very detailed and clear. Thank you for organizing this SAL.
Thanks for all you’re sharing ! It’s so fun ! I’m excited over the donations !
This block is adorable! Reminds me of your beautiful home at Anchor Point! Thanks for another fun block!
Thank you for such an enjoyable sew along, with such a great purpose. I am loving all the blocks and the challenge to work with smaller blocks.
Thank you. All of you have worked (and are still working) so hard to bring us such a great destination quilt shop and retreat center. It’s on my bucket list—just wish my quilting friends were able to travel during these uncertain times. I’ll get there though!

Hi Lisa, I have followed this SAL over the last 12 weeks and copied every block pattern. I haven’t started making the blocks yet, it on my to-do list. I will be making it for my son-in-law who will be retiring from the Army in 2022. Thanks for this great quilt pattern!

This is such a wonderful sew along to be participating in and it warms my heart to hear all of the comments and stories about all our service members. I thank them from the bottom of my heart for their service and it’s because of them that we can appreciate the freedom we have today. Blessings to all of our military service men and women for their great sacrifice.
Oh, this is a cutie! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful project!!
I absolutely love this quilt!! Thanks so much for offering this beautiful pattern to your readers!!
Hi Lisa! Such a fun sew along 🙂 Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you such a beautiful quilt
Thanks for the great videos, Lisa. Yesterday was my last day at work, so today I get to get caught up on my quilting!!! I watched each week, while counting down down to today, when I knew I’d finally be able to enjoy quilting & sewing full time again!
I have thoroughly enjoyed following along as you sewn the blocks. It’s a beautiful quilt. Thank you!
Thank you so much Lisa for this sew along. I am going to make this quilt for my father-in-law for his 25 years of service. I just love how you do things with your quilting. I have learned so much even after 25 years of quilting myself. Thank you again!!
This SAL is filled with so many firsts for me! Thank you so much for putting this together and doing such a wonderful thing for vets!
