Finished the quilt top for "Quilts for kids" quilt number 1 :)

I received the quilt kit for the "Quilts for kids" on Thursday and I made it my number 1 priority to get this quilt finished as soon as I could.
You can read more here about the charity: www.quiltsforkids.org

Today, I attached the borders and now I am waiting for the backing fabric to arrive and the batting that was donated by one of my dear FB friends!
This is the kit:

Here is the quilt top: (I do have to cut the borders to size)

"Vintage Flower" quilt is FINISHED :)

Worked like crazy on this custom ordered quilt top and my long arm quilter did, as usual, an AMAZING job on the cozy feather design. I finished hand binding it today and I am super proud of the results!
You can stay tuned in on all my quilts I work on here or go to my Etsy Shop if I have any in stock.
My quilts sell in shops all over the USA and they are handmade here in the USA too

Donations needed for "Quilts of Valor"

Most of you that follow me on my personal Facebook, know that I am a retired Air Force veteran so "Quilts of Valor" (www.qovf.org) is dear to me.
As an textile and fiber artist, I like to contribute on a regular base, a handmade quilt to this Foundation that will be given to our wounded veterans.

To make this happen, I need your help. I will donate my time to design and make the quilts and I am asking you to consider donating: 100% cotton fabric in solid red, solid white, solid blue and patriotic print fabrics and help me with the supplies needed to make quilts to donate.
My husband will donate the money to ship the quilts to and from the long arm quilter and to the Foundation, where they will be given to our wounded veterans :)
How can you help?

I set up a "wish list" on Amazon so you can see what I need and select what you like to donate. Link to Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/registry/giftlist/3ADF83YFQKMUF Amazon has my address on file.
If you like to donate money to buy fabrics/supplies, please use this link: http://www.gofundme.com/quiltsofvalor
If you like to send fabrics to me, feel free to send me an email at: bubblesyeah2007@yahoo.com and I will give you the address where you can ship to.
If you have 100% cotton fabrics scraps (min size 1.5"x1.5") in any color/print and would like to donate for this and other causes, please contact me for the shipping address by sending an email to: bubblesyeah2007@yahoo.com.
