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!

Tuesday, Dec 5, Moose Lodge, St. Charles
is the location of our Cut-in/kitting day. We start at 9:30-??? It's also our potluck day. Bring a dish and know that paper plates, napkins and silverware is covered.
We will be cutting and kitting that day, so no need to schlep the sewing machines! We need your rotary cutters, mats, rulers and those who have the cutting machines along with dies (with your names on them, of course) and a few irons and ironing boards. If you have a pattern you'd like us to try, figure it out with the required measurements (minimum 58 x 68 with a 55 x 65 finished) and let me know so I can bring along enough fabric. If you're not comfortable cutting, we could use pressers and people to count the pieces (kitting) for each kit.
See you Tuesday~
