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!

Awarding Quilts last night
Last night, accompanied by Sue N, we awarded some quilts. Joshua G, Army/Marines, Afghanistan received his quilt. Thank you Joshua for your service. We then attended a Flags of Freedom fundraiser in Princeton. They were raising funds for the HUGE flags that fly along I80 in Princeton. We awarded quilts to Veterans from WWII, Korea, Vietnam. Thank you gentlemen for your service! Here are a few pictures.

One of my quilts! I always want to see who they go to, but, never do.
