Over the summer we had activity, and now with the coming of fall and people clearing their closets the Month of October has netted us 122 pr. of jeans. Our total since May is now at 469 pr. counting those reported by friends who added a whopping 75 pr. to the effort (thanks for the share Barb and Mike Morehead).
We will be having a cutting party in the near future, and hopefully adding new photos to the blog as we go!
Ruth and the Ukiah quilters are very grateful for all the donation and send their thanks! Helping us help Vets is what it is all about! Adding that touch of warmth to our guys is so appreciated by the men and women who are gifted with that special denim quilt. Now that the seasons are changing and cooler weather is happening, more than ever the warmth is welcomed.
We don't have our annual Umatilla Veterans Crew photo ready for posting just yet, but here is a peek at a little man that is appreciative of his Papaw's quilt. My husband served from 1969 until 1978. Ruthie gifted him a quilt a couple of years ago when we visited the 4th of July Quilt Show in Ukiah. He was so appreciative, and generous to share with everyone who needs a warm snuggle... Especially his grandson Eli! (doubles as a great mattress for the little ones) please disregard the blatant Mamaw brag photo!!!! Just the quilt... yes it is there under all the cuteness! :)
