Happy 4th of July!


Happy 4th of July! What does that bring to mind? Family, friends, BBQ, watermelon, root beer floats, parades, fireworks, freedom, patriotic thoughts and RWB quilts.


I always try to make a few RWB quilts or flimsies in July, for TAPS.
Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, an organization that provides support to the Families of fallen service members. RWB quilts or crocheted blankets are always needed for the “Good Grief Camp”. For more info: http://www.taps.org/



Project Linus made it easy to make the first one. At the last meeting kits were available using the Double Slice Layer Cake pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Co. http://quiltingtutorials.com/all/double-slice-layer-cake-quilt-tutorial/


Hope you have a Great and safe Happy 4th of July!
