A member of TQS submitted a photo to Quiltfolk magazine for their Throwback photo contest, and guess what? It was a winner. Can you figure out which photo it is? It's been on the site before and quilt artist Gail E. Thomas made a quilt from it.
 
Did you guess who it was?

Army Staff Sgt. Andrew Lee uses quilting as a mechanism to cope with his post-traumatic stress disorder and to honor others by working with Quilts of Valor. He's made a total of 50 quilts (including a phenomenal Iwo Jima Flag quilt) and awarded his 35th Quilt of Valor this week.
 
He's also a long-distance trucker and does his quilting on the road in his 2019 Volvo VNL 760 with a full-sized ironing board and a sewing machine that fits on a seat.
 
We found two separate articles about this amazing man.

Cecilia Koppmann, from Buenos Aries, was a Rising Star in Houston in 2018. Her quilt, Student's Village, was created with the help of 70 young students in her class. At the end of the school year, she asked each one to bring her a little house which she could incorporate into a quilt. You'll love all the different houses and how they illustrate each child's personality.
