The next meeting of the Quilts of Valor - CT Quilters Group will be on Friday, July 6th, at the Crafty Threads Quilt Shop. We have a variety of projects in the works and there will be something for everyone to do, whether you can sew or not!
We plan to:
¨ Continue working on the design and layout of the quilt in patriotic country colors,
¨ Layout blocks into quilt tops for our normal design; it's a Bonnie Hunter pattern called the Fourth of July and we now have 5 packages of the right number of blocks all ready to lay out and assemble!,
¨ Sew rows of the quilt tops mentioned above,
¨ Cut red star fabric into squares,
¨ Make up some more “A” block kits,
¨ Sew up some of the “B” block kits since the A’s have been very popular recently,
¨ Make up some pillowcases for presentation packages,
¨ And, as always, whatever else comes up (like ironing, binding, labeling – eventually they will all be needed)!
Please mark your calendars now and plan to attend. Bring your sewing machine if you’d like to sew.
The meetings are always such a good time and it's for such a good cause. We meet from 10:00 – 2:00 at Crafty Threads Quilt Shop and we take a break for lunch. There’s usually a group that walks to a restaurant (very close by), or you can plan to bring a lunch, or just stop by to say hello and see what we’re all about! Every week we have new members and we’d love to see YOU there.
We look forward to working on our QOV projects during this week where we have clebrated our independence. QOV is our way of saying thank you to our Military for continuing to help safeguard our freedom.
