NormAl and I leave on Wednesday for Detroit, bringing quilts and hats and scarves for veterans.
The quilts are for the Detroit VA Nursing Home and the hats and scarves are for homeless vets, to be distributed by the VA Nursing Home.
Follow me below the fold for an update on both projects and plenty of pictures of great work.

First I'll run the numbers. Total hats and scarves in hand = 90 !! Between 5 and 7 more are expected. The Excel table is below. If I have made any mistakes, please let me know. Packages have been arriving nearly daily here. Sometimes more than 1 package a day.
As the spreadsheet shows, many people did more than they committed to. For some people life intervened and they couldn't make their commitment. Life happens. The key point is that 90 hats and scarves were promised and we have 90 hat and scarves!!
Particularly high on the overachievers list is: HappyinNM, Marguerite, Eve and Susan S. Thank you for your wonderful work!!

These are just some representative pictures. As we have over 90 hats and scarves, we do not have pictures of each one.
Total quilts we have at this moment is 38 !! (with NormAl and mine to be added) I don't know if we have any more quilts on the way to us at this point, but that would give a total of 40 quilts at this point. Below is a list of the quilts we have on hand and who they are from.
