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, gentlemen for your service
Joyce and Bob awarded two QOV's this past week. One to his Captain Lynwood B. They then awarded a friend, Steve F, also Army, Vietnam. "You should of seen his wife's face when I presented him the quilt. She own's Alterations by Tony, a bridal shop here. In her spare time (haha) she quilts. She knew of QOV and was so excited to see Steve receive a quilt."
