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!

April 25......Save the date and/or tell a friend
Sew Generously, 3341 W Main St., St. Charles is hosting a Quilts of Valor Day, Saturday, April 25. at 10 AM. Followed by an informative speech on how the quilts are distributed and how one can get involved, from 11 - 3 PM you can stop in to make a block or two for a string quilt Sew Generously will be putting together. Join us for a cup of coffee, some treats and a little time to learn about a worthwhile cause. Bring along any red white and blue fabric you have in your stash that you are willing to donate. (Prefer not to have florals as many of the recipients are men) All "Because of the Brave" quilt fabric will be on sale! If you want to make a quilt of your own or just know someone who would appreciate a quilt made of this fabric, this is a great time to stock up! Please call 630-444-1504 to let them know if you will be attending the 10:am presentation or staying to sew a block.
