Veteran's Day Challenge

[Jim Blume]

Every year I challenge scrollers to make something to donate to a Veteran's Organization. I am on my way to making at least 100 of these ornaments to donate to a Veteran's Memorial where I live. They will be handed out to Vet's visiting the site. I save up all my scraps over the year and so the cost of these is almost nil. Please help these folks out even if you make one little thing and hand it to an old crusty Vet. I am sure they will appreciate it.

I have included a pattern I worked up for this year, and the other one is a free pattern made by Dirk Bolman many years ago for this very purpose. Not sure if I can share that pattern though. I will check with Dirk's wife Karen at The Art Factory to see.

I know many of you already do this, and we hope to see a few more joining our ranks. One little act of kindness goes a long way. Thank you all.

The pattern "God Bless Our Vets) was designed by Dirk Boelman and he wanted folks to cut and donate it to a Vet or a Veteran's Organization. I just talked to Karen Boelman and she said that if anyone wanted that pattern (there are two of them actually) send her an e-mail and she will send it to you. There are also awesome patterns available on that site as well, so stop and take a look.
