Shout Out for Patriotic House Quilts

The House Quilt Project is looking for more people to make patriotic house quilts for Wounded Service Members.

12" wide by 16" high - vertical format, and must have a house and an American flag on it.

It's a pretty easy size to create.

In the upper tool bar, there are instructions for making the wall quilts, pop tops for easy hanging, and label information, plus where to ship.  I hope you will consider making a patriotic house quilt for this project, and make a difference in the life of one of our wounded service members.

Americana House Quilt

Awhile back, I made this pillow front for a display for Furnishing Hope on behalf of The House Quilt Project.  It conveyed to me what Furnishing Hope is all about.

Tania Alexander from Furnishing Hope made my artwork into a pillow. One of the designers, who is preparing an installation for a wounded service member used this pillow as the inspiration for the decor.  I offered to make them an Americana house quilt to go with the pillow.

And I could have asked another artist to make this, but it was really close to Christmas, and really, I wanted to make it myself, since I had made the pillow.  It was my honor to make this for The Linville Family.  It gave me great joy!  "Welcome Home!"
