I have organized a Quilts of Valor project at Byrne Sewing Connection. About 2 to 3 dozen folks show up each month and we make quilt tops. I then parcel these out to longarmers to quilt and then to even more volunteers to bind. We then deliver the finished quilts to various military hospitals through some Chaplin or hospital worker connections I've made. We support the troops and have a lot of fun too.
If you'd like to join us we can entertain nearly any skill level. Call Byrne and see when the next Quilts of Valor Sunday will be.
 These folks were at a recent QOV sew in. For more photos check this page at the Byrne Sewing Connection web site.

I'm now trying to keep better track of where the quilts go. |
