Roberts in Crest Hill

hosted their first QOV sew-in yesterday.  To tell you how much needed is this area, we awarded two veterans QOV's at this first sew-in.  Thank you Dave and Steven for your bravery, sacrifice and service!  The enthusiasm in that room was priceless!  We had people who could not wait to get started, they brought sew-n-tell!   One machine quilter and one in the making were "discovered in the group" AND a "courier" who will schlep whatever between here and there!!  Just LOVE when someone steps up and says...I will do ..........   I am proud to say this is #6 QOV sewing location in this "Chicagoland area" (that I know of).  Two ladies came from the Kankakee area just to see what we were all about.  Oh yes, they are off to a good start.  Welcome Crest Hill!  and good/great job Pat C.  Here are some pictures. 

Did this to show the pattern.  Always looking for pattern ideas.
