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!

And now we have 18!
Awesome turnout today at the sew-in...I think we had 24 people come in! Quick count: 8 completed quilts, 8 tops needing backing and quilting.. AND ALL the quilted tops went out for binding!! THANK YOU! Wish I could make quilters out of ya!
Brought home another 16-patch, which brings us to 18--thank you, Nancy!
As Caron was telling you, we had a presentation last night at the City of Batavia Council meeting. Here are some pictures.
