Meeting Recap – August 2014



It’s always a long, hot summer down here in Florida, but the ladies who work on Quilts of Valor keep right on crankin’ out those quilts!  It was a real bonanza at the meeting this month at the CT Quilters QOV Group.

First up are the stacks and stacks of pillowcase presentation packages – aren’t these a wonderful variety?!  Thank you so much, ladies (and big hugs go out to Ginger and Gail).



And we thank Linda who has been embroidering various designs and colors of labels for our quilts:




Debbie worked up this wonderful top from the Summer Block of the Month Project:


We think that Joanne S brought in this cute top (please send me a note if I got that wrong…):



And Ginger has been finding some excellent patterns in her series of quilt tops for quilts that will go to Viet Nam veterans in memory of her husband Roger:



We just can’t write enough accolades for our volunteer quilters.  Sandy brought us this quilt that she quilted in variegated red/white/blue thread in a patriotic design:


And Pat B brought us back five quilts that she worked her quilting magic on:







What a treasure our quilters are to us!

Here are a few candid pix of the ladies this month:







Hope you can join us in September.
Always something inspirational going on
at our Quilts of Valor Group meetings!
