Our local Quilt of Valor group is small, and certainly not as active as many groups. But we are diligently working to have a good supply of quilts to present. Most of the quilts, finished and in progress, are at my house currently. Two other members each have a finished quilt at their house too, and one of those should be presented this weekend.
This one just needs a label and then it will be ready to present later this summer.
This stack of finished quilts is ready to go as well, except for labels which we'll take care of closer to the presentations. There are 6 quilts in this pile in my dining room.
One more quilt is in the hands of a long arm quilter. And we have several in progress.
** 1 quilt needs a final set of borders added
** 4 tops are ready to quilt
** 2 sets of blocks are ready to put together
** 2 panels - need members to decide how to use them
** 1 new set of blocks being collected
Presentation pillowcases also are a part of our process. I currently have 3 pillowcases kitted up, ready to sew and the fabric set aside for a couple more.
Thank you for your work. Each and every quilt is a recognition in someone's life. Large group or small, your work is necessary and appreciated.
