DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

At present I am making a weighted blanket. Never did that before and thought it might help my mom with wrestlers leg. Supposed to be very comforting and I can see why... that heavy cover is so comforting when getting X-ray at dentist. :) It was going pretty good but now it's getting heavy and awkward. As longs as we continue to learn right? That will keep us sharp and busy. (smile)

Hi Darla, I am currently working on a scrappy quilt, its a Strawberry Shortcake quilt. I go to quilting 3x a week at a local senior center. I like to do different things. I made some placemats for my son who is in Florida. as well as some other odds and ends. How about you, what are you working on?

May son's PIR is 6/29. I was going to make a quilt for Sarge's dinners silent auction. Is this a good idea or do most people just bring baskets?

I'm trying to learn how to put a border onto a quilt that I am making for my son with mitered corners, can someone explain in simple terms how to do it? I learned a long time ago, but have forgotten because it was too long ago. Thanks!!!

Would anyone here like to do a quilt square swap. Maybe we could all do something Navy related?
