Hi Sharonmamaw...how great your son is coming home for a visit in July. I'm sure you are looking forward to wrapping your arms around him. My oldest was in Afghanistan and I know how good it was to have him back home. We all support and pray for our guys over there...no matter what the politics.

When John went to Afghanistan I wanted to make something for him. Didn't really want to make a quilt. So came up with a little thing he could carry in one of the pockets of his fatigues (guess they don't call them fatigues anymore). Anyway this is what I came up with...

This was on one side...John's wife and kids





and this was on the other side....John and his brother and my husband amd me. Thank goodness I got rid of the red hair. Wasn't a good thing on me. Ha.

Oh...John is the one in the light blue shirt.

What a great idea. He probably looks at those photos every day.

grammy65, i love that idea. i will have to give it a try. thank you all so much for the nice comments. bradlee, my son wasn't hurt over there, just wrapped for support, i think. he will be coming home back to the states in april.

I think the best part about the little project was the fact that he could carry it with him all the time. For the pictures I used Printed Treasures fabric sheets. Had a heck of a time finding the BDU (I think that's what they call it). Found some handkerchiefs in one of those stores that sells old military stuff.
