WE Did It...CONGRATS Illiana QOH Chapter!

We Did It!  Our Mini Quilt Block was chosen #1 out of ALL the entries throughout the US...Congratulations Illiana Quilts of Honor Volunteers - our hard work paid off!

WINNERS!  Tough Competition for sure!!

Illiana Quilts of Honor is so Proud and Honored to be chosen amongst ALL the 47 incredible entries - really tough competition to be sure!

We worked really hard on this mini quilt design to Celebrate Quilts of Honor and its 15th Anniversary of Honoring our Combat Vets and Military Service Members for their Service and Sacrifice for Our Country:

All designed - ready to embroider

It took several tries to get this design 'just right' ;-)

Finishing up the embroidery

Both entries ALL finished!

2nd Matching Star Block entry,  'Pieced Star block' - it didn't place but...it was FUN to create!

ALL finished up and ready for Shipping to QOH Headquarters!

And last but certainly NOT least...

Happy Birthday, Quilts of Honor from our Illiana QOH Chapter!
