Greetings from Nancy in Mountain Home, Idaho:

"Family Support took the first box of fabric postcards to the cookie drive.. and they were really impressed.

I cannot say THANK YOU enough for all the sentiments, time and beautiful work everyone did..... The troops will value them from people all across the nation telling them they care and thanking them... This means alot right now to our troops. I am glad that you and I could be the rope tieing everything together and especially you!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

I need some thank you's for January and then We will have a major deployment in January so in a few months we will need a lot of thanks you as well as the ones strangling back inbetween. let me know if you have any other ideas?? I just know that we love these to give to our troops.

Three Big Boxes and Three Big Envelopes Later.....

In all, we have sent almost 700 of these tiny greetings to soldiers for the holidays, thanks to all of you.

This will be an ongoing project for us at www.How-to-Quilt.com and www.Fabric-Postcards.com.

The details might change, but the theme is the same - - let's let our troops know how much we appreciate them when they are abroad and when they arrive home.

Nancy indicated that Thank You cards are needed as soldiers return to their US base. Whenever the spirit moves you, make some cards, and send them along to us here at How to Quilt, PO Box 2112, La Mesa, CA 91943. We'll continue to post pictures of your creations and forward the fabric postcards to the Air Force Base in Mountain Home, Idaho.

If you have a school group or church group and would like a donation of fabric, please contact us, and we'll see you get the materials you need to make cards!

Happy Quilting!
