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!

Most Productive and a NICE treat!
We had a very productive day today. I haven't fully unpacked, but I believe we have 10 finished tops (need backings and ready for the quilters) and I know quite a few went home for finishing. The treat was 7 completed tops came in the door from the Elmhurst Piecemakers!!! They were beautiful and the quilting was awesome as well!!! Thank you! It was a great show-n-tell. NOT to forget the lunch provided by Quiltfabric.com! And thank you Kay as well---over and above the top!!
I hope to post pictures tomorrow cause tonight I get to babysit my new little granddaughter!!
Thank you ladies. It was a pleasure AGAIN!! We do Make a Difference!!!

I am Glad to see that you had a great day - sorry I could not be with you because of the long drive involved. I as well as the group of ladies in Beloit hope to deliver a large amount of quilts to you by the end of November. Thank God for a great day and another day of keeping our troops safe.
Think positive, Vicki....we'll be delivering to you. Rockford will be covered
