Tuesday, had the privilege of awarding long-time friends
their long over-due QOV's. Len and Steve, Army, Dessert Storm. Thank
you Lenny and Steve for your service...actually, Steve still serves our
community working at the APD!
And today...Welcomeyouhome.com
people welcomed Vincent K, Marine home. Very nice celebration to be a
part of. Oh, and found out his grandfather, was a WWII Veteran. So,
just happened to have a QOV in the car! Thank you gentlemen for your
service.
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!

A very busy Tuesday
LOLQOVV was quite busy yesterday! Jane dropped off several tops brought in at the sew in that went on at Sewing Etc. Shirley sent pictures of tops brought in of their Take 5 pattern. And had a few ladies here cutting and kitting block kits. I hope to get the pictures up on both here and on the blog. I'm mostly staying connected with my iPad and very little time on the computer for obvious reasons, but I'll give it a try. There is more cutting and kitting to do if you're able, let me know. I also need your pictures of ladies and gents working. I'm guilty of not getting pics of the crew at my house either. We have until end of July so my son can gather and do his magic to music.

pics from RWW and sew-in Reminder notice
From Glenda...Glenda represented us at the RWW this past weekend.
RWW in Louisville Kentucky. I had the privilege of awarding 42 quilts to returning military members at the banquet on Saturday night. What an amazing experience for all of us. I felt their outpouring of appreciation as I, in turn, was expressing our thanks for their selfless service.
Thank you for your service!!
