I'm so happy to report that all of our hard work paid off - we had such a wonderful show!!! Thank you to everyone who came - in terrible weather - to support us and American Hero Quilts. We didn't have a huge turnout but everyone who came to our show had huge hearts and our little group managed to raise, in six hours...drumroll please....$7,329.59!!! Our original goal was $3,000...but then I thought we could do that standing on our heads so I doubled it to $6,000...and as the day wore on and fewer people than expected came, I was a bit fearful that we wouldn't even make the first goal...so I was shocked when we added things up...over $EVEN THOU$AND DOLLAR$!!! Every penny we raised went to American Hero Quilts to be used to make quilts for our returning wounded warriers. Thank you, again, for everyone who came and supported our show. I'll be posting pictures soon! In the meantime, to see some of the amazing quilts that were at our show, and some that have just been donated, go to www.americanheroquilts.com . (I had to amend the total...it seems my math skills are about as sharp as my dog's, it's not my thing, so my tally was off BUT it was off in the right direction...we actually made more than I originally posted! So the above figure is now correct!)
