READY........SET........SEW!!!!!!

Hi All!
Tomorrow, October 15 is the big day! We will sew 90 padded hangers for the Soldiers Memorial. I already made 10....5 of them are in the Museum display.  I'm excited! I'm tired too, but it's been so worth it! I would do it again in a heartbeat! I did the final prep on 67 covers last night. (that's 134 pieces!) Whew!

We start sewing at 1:00 pm tomorrow and the presentation by the Soldiers Memorial begins at 2:00pm. Don't miss it!

Yesterday, as I was leaving work, I was lucky enough to witness the Tribute Wall arriving in Arnold. It was something to see! I've never seen so many motorcycles (escorts) in one place. The procession was absolutely awesome. What an honor for me to get to see that! I will be visiting the Tribute Wall with my family in the next couple of days. I wouldn't miss it.

Watch for posts about the results of the sewing marathon! 

Regards,
Angie

The sewing marathon is only a week away and we are excited! We WILL reach our goal of 100 hangers and are proud to help the museum. I must say, the display rendered me speechless when I saw it; it really makes you pause and think. What our service men and women have done for us can never really be repaid.

IT'S HERE!!

The Soldiers Memorial Museum display arrived yesterday! We are so honored that the museum trusts us with these treasures! In the collection is an American Red Cross Nurse's Jacket worn by Marie Boles Tindall in WWII, a US Air Force Jacket worn by Henry Schuler in the 50's and 60's, a US Army Nurse Corps jacket from WWII thru 1950's, and a US Navy Seaman 1st Class jacket worn during WWII. Most touching is a US Marine Corps jacket worn by W.T. Guerin who was killed in action in Vietnam and also from the St. Louis area.
