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

"sharing" the torch
I'd pass it if you'd take it on, but I'm wondering if there is someone(s) who would like to share some responsibility with me. I have been asked to speak at a few functions (2 guilds, 1 VFW and another fundraiser). I'm thinking with the QOV show put on by PBS, the word of QOV is getting out and we seem to be getting a few people wanting join in the "Mission" of covering our troops---which is a GOOD thing!! I was told the first time I had to do this (cause I was overwhelmed in speaking) but, because your topic is something you are passionate about, it just "comes". And it does--believe me. So, think about it and let me know. Rita
