Yesterday was the delivery of all of the quilts to Fort Hood. There was an informal gathering to photograph the quilts, before presenting them to the hospital Chaplain. Even among the tough military personnel, at the sight of all quilts; tears were shed. Luke had the honor of handing out the first quilt to one of the wounded in Darnell Hospital.
Thank you so much to everyone for your individual and group contributions!
lots of love,
Cherri
You are one amazing woman for putting this together! You're such a great example of how we should always be willing to serve others when there is a need. :)

what a beautiful display of quilts to be given with love to the many men and women of Fort Hood.
With the photo taken at such a high up distance, it makes them appear as "minis" if I didn't know better. ;) They are all beautiful!
I didn't donate anything but it makes me proud to be a quilter knowing that so many did rush a quilt to you for this cause.
Love to you from Orange, TX! ~bonnie

God bless you for this work! As a veteran it is so great to hear that the hard work & losses endured are not forgotten or taken for granted. What happened there is nothing less than tragic. It is so excellent that you & others took time out of your lives to honor the loss & the people who suffer. Thank you.

Thank you so much for letting me be participate in this project. I sent a second quilt with confirmation card for a bereaved family member but haven't received the green card. I do hope it was received. I mailed it to Luke's address. Thanks again for everything you did on this project. luv redtosew yolanda m.
