Thanking our Veterans

Today especially, we'd like to send out a extra special thank you to veterans of our Armed Forces. Their sacrifices created and sustained our country, and we are grateful to them! 

One wonderful way that we as quilters can thank veterans is to make and donate quilts.  Both Quilts of Valor and Quilts of Honor are wonderful organizations that work diligently to award quilts to veterans. If you know of any other organizations that serve this purpose, please leave a comment below! 

We currently have two patriotic-colored collections idea for making quilts for veterans. Each collection includes a free quilt pattern; check with the organization you're working with for size requirements. 

Oh My Stars! by Dover Hill Studio is chock-full of stripes, stars, and even fireworks! 

Use Oh My Stars! to stitch a truly patriotic quilt: the "American Dream" quilt designed by Diane Nagle.

Download the free quilt pattern here.

The Heritage collection, also by Dover Hill Studio, features mini prints in shades of red, blue and cream, reminiscent of designs from the turn of the century. 

Heidi Pridemore's "American Tradition" quilt also features stars, perfect for a veteran.

Thank a veteran today!

Feeling patriotic?

A great red, white and blue collection inspires patriotic pride--you might even start humming "America the Beautiful" or "The Star Spangled Banner" while you read this post! :) 

With parades, fireworks, and all things red, white and blue colored just around the corner for the 4th of July, we're sharing our Oh My Stars collection by Dover Hill Studio. 

These fantastic patriotic prints feature stars and stripes (of course!), as well as ribbons, a firework-inspired print, and great watercolor-style tonals. The American Classic prints are red, blue, and a warm cream, with some fun burlap texture in the background. The Weathered prints work in tan as well, with more burlap texture. Use them together or on their own and you'll create a red, white and blue beauty! 

Red, white and blue prints are always a great match for a star quilt. This star-happy design, "American Dream" by Diane Nagle, is available for free download from our website.
