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!

A tough one!
Picture from last night's fundraiser---Marine Cpl. Yuryi Zymsly being wrapped with a Quilt of Valor. This is my 3rd year with this fundraiser and I have to say, a tough one... Not to take away from the generous people in attendance. What a story!
www.thewoundedsoldierfundraiser.com raises donations from lots of people. The annual event begins with a fun filled golf outing (rain or shine as yesterday proved), followed by dinner.
