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!

Been quite a week
We are now in the midst of our participation at the International Quilt Festival at the Donald Stephens Convention Center. Stop by the booth of you're there, especially around 1:00. We are awarding some special Veterans their Quilts of Valor.
Also, last week I got a call that Kaye England wanted a quilt of valor for a veteran Pepper Cory had in her class! Check this out! http://quiltville.blogspot.com/ Yeah, I'm a name dropper! plus Bonnie Hunter and Pam Hunter and Mark Sherman. What a group of fun people! Thank you Rosemary for your service. BTW, I did look at the label and saw that Donna N pieced this quilt and Pat I quilted it.
Rita
