QOV Info:
All Call for QOV quilt tops
Hello ladies,
I’m trying to make sure that I have received all the QOV 9 patch quilt tops that we worked on in February at our QOV sew day. I know that some
Tops were taken home to complete and I’m not sure I have received them all back. I’m just making sure that I have them all. Please let me know if you are still working on one,
Or need help completing one. That would be great. Of course if you have one that is complete, just give me a call or send me email, I will
Be happy to swing by and pick it up. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me I’ll be happy to talk with you.
JR sent out an earlier email regarding QOV membership, I do hope you all have had a chance to see it. You’ll be seeing more from me about this subject 😊
On another note, make sure that you are checking out the blog. JR has been posting pictures of the “Sew n Tell” quilts which haven’t been able to show in person.
Always fun to see what others have been working on.
Take care and Stay Safe!!

Quilts of Valor Group membership Renewal 2020-2021
Hello Everyone,
Thanks for your patience as I confirmed some information with the QOV organization regarding on line membership renewal.
This year the Group membership cost has increased to $75 for the Guild/group, and Individual memberships are as follows.
$10.00 a year without pin
$15.00 a year with pin
Being a group member is still a considerable savings. A stand-alone individual membership is now $40.
If you elect to receive a pin; all pins will be mailed to me and I will get them to you.
Currently the QOVF organization is being charged 5.7% processing fee. They are giving us an option to pay this fee in addition to
the membership amount listed above.
Using our current Group status as an example: Group Renewal and 23 Members renewals would result in approx. $17 to $24
Processing fee cost that the organization would have to pay, unless we opt to cover this cost. I would like to recommend that we
Pay this fee. If we do then your membership amount would be $10.57 or $15.86; or the guild could consider covering this cost.
I’ve tried to find out if we can remit our renewal using snail mail, sending a check as payment. So far they aren’t saying no,
however I get the feeling that they prefer us to use the on-line process. 😊
Please respond on this email to me, at the rfw2bjw@verizon.net address letting me know if you plan to renew this year,
and if you wish to receive a pin or not. If you do not wish to renew please let me know or if you currently are not a member of our group
and wish to become a member please let me know. Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Project Linus 2020 Mystery Quilt
August 16, 2020

Any questions ask JR/Debi
Sept 4, 2020
From Project Linus local chapter:
Good morning,
I was notified yesterday, that our chapter is in 2nd place for top participating chapter in the mystery challenge. Thank you to all those that have registered. If you've never signed up for one of these challenges, I encourage you to register today. It is so much fun!! The challenge is perfect for inexperienced as well as experienced quilters. There are video tutorials for each clue (block). Last year's challenge was Logey Bear (picture attached). The new challenge is Lucy's Love Notes. We do know that Lucy is a flamingo. When you finish the quilt, it is yours to do with as you please. Of course, PL would love to have to it!!!
We have about 1/2 the sign ups we had last year but we are still in 2nd place. I believe not having the Plano Quilt Show in August is the difference. Let's reach out to all our quilting friends and see if we can get into first place. If we all recruited one more person to register, we could do it! As far as I know there isn't a prize involved, only bragging rights.
Sign up today at www.projectlinus.org. List Collin, Texas as your chapter and we will receive the $15 registration fee to use on blanket supplies. Also, remind your friends to list our chapter so they will be added to our list.
Regina
Project Linus Chapter Coordinator
Collin, Grayson, & Rockwall Counties of Texas
To love what you do and feel you make a difference......what could be better?
