Thanking Our Troops
God Bless America Touring Quilts
By Judy Howard and Nationwide Quilt Artists
This book is a collection of short
essays that pays tribute to all men and women Veterans and Troops, with photos
of the beautiful quilts that are also part of a traveling quilt exhibit. Every story shouts out a hug for our
heroes.
All profits from this book, along
with profits from the traveling quilt exhibit, with which this book has
photographs of 200 of these quilts, go to non-profit groups that provide quilts
for wounded soldiers and the families of the fallen.
“How do I love America—let me quilt the ways”
is the theme of these 200 twenty-two" and larger patriotic quilts that are
blanketing America for four years with “Hugs for our Heroes” and are featured
in this full-color gift book along with their heart-warming stories of
patriotism and gratitude.
This
patriotic traveling quilt exhibit will travel for four years, with a $100
exhibit rental fee (free to military and veteran groups). It is a perfect
exhibit for quilt guilds, churches, quilt shows, libraries, and other groups to proudly display. You can also view the online schedule for
this exhibit, to see if it will be coming to your area.
You
can order this book directly from the publisher for $14.95 each + $2.95 shipping ($19.95
suggested Retail Price). Call
405-751-3885 for volume discounts for fundraising.

I am a follower and I have sent in my blocks for the QOV Charity Challenge. I love the last quilt pictured in your post because it looks like a design that would use the QOV blocks perfectly. And I also love the first quilt with the charming ladies. I'd probably cry my way through this book but I'd still love to read it.
