Recent Photos of our National Sew Day

We LOVE Quilting

 And We LOVE our Vets!  That's why we ALL got together on our very first National Quilts of Valor Sew Day and started creating quilts for our Veterans.  The following are some of those memorable photos:

Two sewers busily working on their QOV quilt tops

We appreciate ALL our quilters and sewers – beginners to experienced, and each and EVERYONE stepped up to the plate and sewed their hearts out...Thank YOU!

And even a few non-sewers/quilters showed up to help out:

My youngest daughter, Jaclyn supervising one of our young sewers - even 'she' knows how to practice sew on lined paper!

 

A future QOV sewer running her first practice lines of stitching - great job, Melissa!
