Quiltsy Cares 3/5/19

Mary Swinton is today's featured quilter.  She also helps with quilts for Quilts of Valor.  Her Etsy shop is Quilting Granny.


Isn't this a beautiful quilt?  This is what Mary has to say about her charity work:

"My brother received a quilt of valor and I saw how much it meant to him that I wanted others who have served to have the same experience and feeling of appreciation for their service.

My small quilt group made two quilts of valor. I not only made some of the blocks but also sewed the blocks together for the quilts. The quilt is a strip quilt with a white center thus forming a star. Quilted into the star areas were words of thanks for their service. These quilts will be given to veterans on the honor flights to Washington, DC."


Mary is from Lincoln, Nebraska
