Veterans Day : Quilt of Valor

 

What is Quilts of Valor?

Our Mission: to cover Service Members and Veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.https://www.qovf.org/membership/

•  Quilt of Valor does not have to be red, white and blue, but patriotic colors are very popular with recipients. Panels can provide a great focal point and bring in other colors. Think creatively with the recipient in mind.
• Recommended size: is 60″ x 80″; minimum: 55″ x 65″; maximum: 72″ x 90″.
• Use quality, adult-appropriate, 100% cotton, quilt-weight fabrics. Avoid juvenile prints and branch-specific fabric unless the recipient is known in advance, as this creates difficulty in identifying a recipient.
• The Quilt consists of a top, batting, and backing. It must be machine or hand quilted. A tied quilt is not acceptable for a Quilt of Valor.
• Wash quilt once completed so it is soft and so that any potential fabric dye bleeding issues are resolved. Use cold water, mild detergent and unscented

My local quilt club belongs to this great organization  but you can join and find more information as an individual ,group or business. I made my first quilt as a individual in honor of my family members who had served . Lisa

Wood slices project

I am sharing this fun and easy project 

I am using wood slices I picked up at Wal-Mart.  But you can find them online or in stores. 

• package of wood slices

•  small Stencils 
• paint 

• Paint pens 

Place stencils on wood slices and hold done with painters tape. Use paint  to fill in design. After drying add details with paint pen. 

Hand-Lettered Wood Slice Ornaments

These hand-lettered ornaments focus on typography, allowing simple words and phrases to become the main design element. The natural wood background gives the lettering a clean, modern contrast.

Prepare the surface by sanding and optionally applying a thin whitewash using diluted white acrylic paint. Once dry, use a black paint pen or brush marker to carefully letter your design. Add small accents such as dots, branches, or simple borders to frame the text. Seal with a matte or satin finish and attach baker’s twine or ribbon for hanging.

Brush on a layer of mod podge over the wood slice. Press the napkin circle on to the wood slice and press gently with fingers. 

Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over top of the napkin and leave it to dry fully before applying on the back side.. For a hanger drill a small hole and screw in a screw with an eye. Add ribbon and decorations with hot glue.
