Yesterday we told you about a very special challenge called Just One Star Challenge.
The Semper Fi Fund is coordinating donations and I wanted to show you why this challenge meant so much to me as soon as I found out about it.
This is my daddy.
He was all dressed up for the Marine Corp Ball with my beautiful mom. Here is a secret that most people don't know... he is not my biological father. He came into my life when I was 10 years old and has been the best Daddy a girl could have.
In fact, he had such an influence on my life that I joined the Young Marines at age 12.
So here is my plea to you:
Please send in just one star.
If you can send in two, or three, or more... that is awesome.
But, imagine if we could get everyone to send in just one.
I am making mine tonight and if you don't have the fabrics you need to do it -
Email me right now with your address and I will send the fabrics to you - NO CHARGE.
Plus, you will be able to enter our special giveaway of winning 10 yards of Sunkissed. AND Rachel at P.S. I Quilt has a special give away too.
So what are you waiting for?
Go make some stars and become a star too :)

Bea you have a beautiful and touching story. Thank you so much for sharing with us. You have filled my eyes with tears and my heart with love. I did get a little bit of a giggle when you said "former" marine though. My dad does not say, "ex." It is always "former!"
Thanks for sharing and serving. I bought some FQ to make at least 4 stars last week. This gives me more incentive to get going and get them finished. Will send pictures soon.
I still need to find the brown pigma pen, but here are my 2 stars:
