Suzie and I were at a booth at the Village Quilters Quilt Show in
Libertyville this past weekend. QOV was their service project for the
year. They put together 38 quilts and awarded 18 at an emotional
program Saturday afternoon. What an inspiration! Some made for a
special Veteran and was able to award him/her their quilt. We had a
couple WWII Veterans, one being a Purple Heart recipient, Desert Storm,
Korean, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans present. Ellen said it
right...lot of love in that hall! Word has it they might do it again at
their next show. Here are a few pictures. PS. Came home with 18
completed quilts! Thank you ladies!
Tuesday we had our monthly Batavia sew-in. Here are a "few" pictures of tops that came in yesterday. They're all so different.
Upcoming we have:
Honor flight in North Chicago this Sunday.
Next Wednesday, Veterans at VFW
St Charles 15 Veterans Day week at the Moose Lodge
