Donna from WelcomeYouHome.com presented a quilt this weekend to Megan and Scott. USMC Scott had 4 months left in his IRR; but, as a scout sniper, has been called back to service. He is a Marine who spent 4 years in Iraq and was shot twice. Scott and Meghan have decided to get married. They had two weeks to prepare for this wedding.
We are a busy bunch of quilters that strive to provide quilts as our small and humble way of saying "thanks" to our returning troops. Rita Pennington (garipenn@att.net) is our "Drill Sergeant" and she keeps the (quilting) troops moving and motivated. We have 6 monthly sew-ins North of I88: St. Charles, Elgin, Rolling Meadows, Crest Hill, Geneva and Montgomery. See side bar for more info. Join us on Facebook: Illinois Quilts of Valor
Thank you!

Thank a Veteran each and every day
