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.

Elgin Sew In
Yesterday was a great day for our Elgin group. Rebecca and Boyd brought
in quilt tops, we finished making blocks on our group project and
Rebecca kindly offered to assemble the quilt. Patty taught a new
block, a floating star, for work at home. Boyd and Shirley bundled 11
quilts to longarm. The highlight was presenting a quilt to Larry, a
Vietnam veteran.
