Recycling military uniforms for gifts......

The daughter of one of my art quilters is retiring from military service and she asked her mom to make 3 pillows out of her old uniforms.  Louise came over and we loaded the wording into my embroidery machine memory and I sewed out 3 of them for her.
She decided that the front of the shirts would make great pillow backs.  That way she could just unbutton them and insert the pillow form.  I think it is a wonderful use of the uniforms.
This is the bali-pop quilt top she completed at my house yesterday.
I am hoping for a couple relaxing days now.  It has been a busy time period again.  I need to get the blower on the heater in my van fixed soon too, more appointments, more waiting.
