SOLDIERS' ANGELS QUILTS


We have a good start toward our goal of collecting hand-made quilts for the Soldiers' Angels organization's Blankets of Belief campaign. We hope to donate at least 100 hand-made red, white & blue quilts to the program which will go to our servicemen in Iraq and Afghanistan this Christmas. Out first 15 quilts collected were shown at the Compass Guild meeting last night, and they are spectacular!

Our thanks go to all the quilters for caring enough to do this with us. To see all the quilts we have to date go to:

The first 15 quilt sown in the series are the ones we have so far.

If you'd like to help us and make quilt to go to a soldier in a war zone, it does not have to be difficult, or complicated. Complete information about quilt sizes, etc., can be found here:


And don't forget our upcoming September workshops to finish quilts in progress, on

Sunday, September 7th or
Sunday, September 14th
from Noon to 5:00 pm.

We'd be glad to help you pull it all together.
