A special thank you to Amanda for the wonderful pictures. We are lucky to have such talent in our Guild. 

On behave of the Guild members and our Veterans, Thank you Amanda, Barb, Kathy and all who made this event a success. (It was a success because of your big hearts).

To the Guild Members from Barb:

To say “Thank You”  just doesn’t seem to be enough.  So much time was put into making the evening so special for so many.
Some spent time raising funds to purchase fabric, some spent time purchasing fabric, others spent hours  piecing quilt tops and making binding,
While others quilted them and bound them.  The love you ladies have for our veterans truly is amazing.  I’m grateful for each of you
and appreciate so much  the part each of  you contributed  to make our veterans feel so loved and appreciated.
Humble your QOV representative,
Barb

Also acceptable donations are Afghans that are crocheted or knitted - lap size and larger
Fleece blankets are also accepted

** Please note: All quilts, afghans or fleece blankets MUST BE in NEW condition. We are unable to accept holiday, sports team specific or rag quilts.
