Quilts of Valor
We have been a wonderfully productive group this past year and we find ourselves with many completed tops awaiting quilting. So, we have decided to dedicate this one day to sewing Quilts of Love as our inventory is low.
We will have two Quilt of love kits and also should have one finished one that needs binding.
If someone has their own QOV they are working on and prefers to do that, of course that is fine.
