Tomorrow is Election Day. Please vote. Some people say one vote doesn't make a difference. But if you compare it to making a quilt -- then EVERY STITCH MATTERS, right??
It's good to take a moment to consider HOW VERY, VERY LUCK WE ARE to live in a country that has elections. No matter what side you're on, or how contentious this election has been -- I am grateful to live in America, where every person, rich or poor -- black or white -- Christian, Jew or Muslim -- has the RIGHT TO VOTE.
Because Veteran's Day is coming up -- this is a good time to give another shout out to the Quilts of Valor organization...
 |
| For the last two years, I've attended their regional event at the Quad Cities Botanical Center. |
 |
| Last year, my husband John and my son Elliott both received quilts. |
 |
| Terry Austin is in charge of the local chapter of Quilts of Valor |
 |
| She gives a big hug to every single veteran. |
 |
| Terry Austin made the two matching quilts John and Elliott received. (there is a label on every quilt). |
 |
| Check into your local organization -- you can honor them by making a quilt, or attending an event... |
 |
| Or, better yet -- if you want to honor all veterans -- GO VOTE. |
