WONDERFUL NEWS!!!! Sue is delighted to share that one of her Quilts of Valor was selected for a traveling exhibit of Quilts of Valor. Original Sewing & Quilt Expo has offered to display 35 Quilts of Valor in an exhibit that will travel to events in eleven cities this year. The exhibit premiers in Lakeland, Florida in February, and then travels to Atlanta (twice), Chicago, Cleveland and Worchester, MA. The tour continues on to Raleigh, North Carolina; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Chantilly, Virginia; Kansas City, and Minneapolis! Her quilt was selected from over 100 quilts submitted for review. The exhibit will also include quilts by such luminaries of the quilting world as Mark Lipinski, Alex Anderson, Eleanor Burns, Marianne Fons, and Nancy Mahoney. It is truly an honor to be part of the Quilts of Valor Foundation honoring our war veterans who return from war and are given a token of our appreciation stitched with love, prayers and healing thoughts, and a thank-you for their sacrifice and valor. The quilt which titled Waves of Freedom was made in 2011 and machine quilted by Carolyn.
