I find myself playing blog catch up once again. I can't seem to keep up lately with all of my hobbies. I feel like I'm getting a lot done it's just difficult to get a lot done AND record all that I get done. A long time ago someone in my life stood on the principle that "The unexamined life is not worth living". This is a famous quote by.......well, you'll just have to Google it because I can't remember at the moment. My version of this is that "Sometimes examining your life takes away from the time you have to LIVE your life".
But some things need to be recorded and shared and Kevin the Quilter's block drive is one of them! Kevin is collecting blocks to make into quilts for donation to the Quilts of Valor program.

I'm not going to mail them in right away, Kevin, because I'm hoping to make some more before the deadline. They are super easy to make. And there will be some prizes. For every 5 blocks you send to Kevin you will have one entry into the prize giveaway. One of the prizes is a gift certificate to Missouri Star Quilt Company! But, everyone really wins because having a way to show our thankfulness to those who protect us, sometimes literally with their very lives is a great, great, great privilege.
Nina!!!!!!! Your post is beautiful! Thank you for "getting it" and for donating to the block drive! I encourage you to make as many blocks as you can! The more you make, the more chances you have to win! Thanks again for the shout out!
