It has been a busy, busy time for our Quilts of Valor group! We had a presentation at Vet Court on February 23, and a presentation on February 12 at a church in Spring Hill.

I ordered more new folders for the certificates and bought more bags to put the quilts in for you guys to work on. Pam has done...

  [gallery ids="2313,2314,2312,2311,2310,2309,2308,2307"] The Community Care Committee has had an active month!

Shout out to CVQA member Jan Edleson, who connected us with her Old Glory Chapter of DAR for the donation. I took the baby quilts to Jan's home while her DAR buddies were there and they ooh’d and aah’d...

Unfortunately, our scheduled speaker for April will not be able to join us this year. The logistics of arranging her visit based on her requirements proved too challenging and costly. As a result, both the lecture and workshop have been canceled. You may be wondering what our plans are for April now. Rest assured, we will organize something enjoyable, and Colleen is already pursuing Plan B! Please note, this is not an April Fool's joke ☹...

Chris Guenther and Nancy Garrison have been there since the beginning and Lin Stricker joined just a couple of years later. At first, the group met in members’ homes; then at Quilting Squares; on Zoom during the Covid pandemic; and now at the Williamson County Enrichment Center. Although the...
