Cheyenne's project

As most of you know Cheyenne is working on volenteer service projects for her NJHS, because of our military and veteran affiliation most of her projects are based around helping these people. She has decided to put together a program to provide quilts/blankets for every wounded soldier who comes home to Fort Riley, Richard has helped get her set up with the WTB (wounded soldier transition battalion) and we will be making quilts for as many of these soldiers as we can, where you come in....it is time consuming and expensive to do so many blankets, so she is asking any of you who are able to help to help her.We want to put together lab size quilts, blankets, afgains, if you know how to make any of these and would like to make and donate one it would be greatly appriciated, if you do not know how to make them and would just like to donate materials that to would be appriciated as well, any type of material and or batting it great.I just taught my girls to make the fleese tied blankets so Cheyenne will be making those herself, she is also going to get together girls from her school and offer them a class on how to make them, and the end results will be donated. I am teaching her to tie quilts so she will also be able to make some like that as well. Since we get new soldiers home every day this will be an ongoing progject for her, we hope we will be able to get as many people as possible involved, this should be a great experience for her and hopfully will bring some comfort to our returning soldiers.If you wish to help and do not know our address to send your items feel free to contact me for information, also please feel free to enlist help from any of your friends as well.Together we can make a diference for those who have given so much for us.Edi and Cheyenne
