It has been an interesting time for us: We had a graduation at Vet Court on September 22. Eileen and Joyce attended with me to wrap the graduates in their quilts. There was a full house with lots of distinguished guests and the graduates loved their quilts. Thank you for supporting this noble cause. I supplied a bunch of quilts to Kathleen Hardin that she will present in November at her RV campground in Florida. We had a booth at Vet Fest on October 4, and presented six quilts to...

Even though we haven't had in-person meetings for two months, CCC has received/finished up six quilts - and I’m sure I will be taking away a carload of quilts at our November meeting! We are in need of ladies’ quilts for the domestic violence center (Bridges of Williamson County) Christmas party for women that have completed their program. I have about nine quilts and will need about 20 or more. So, if you have an extra quilt or two lying around, please bring it to the November or December meeting. This...

My calendar says that it’s Fall!! I sure hope that weather reports are in sync!! Just like you, I was super disappointed with the need to cancel our September Guild meeting. Kathleen Hardin, the organized lady that she is, was all set and ready to share her traveling adventures with us at that meeting. However, when I spoke with her on the telephone, she was very gracious regarding the cancellation, and we hope that she can reschedule her presentation for some time in 2026. By the time that you read this,...

At the historic courthouse in Franklin on September 22, our precious Pat McMahon was presented this beautiful plaque from the Veterans Treatment Court and the local American Legion post. It was a beautiful afternoon of honor for many veterans at the 10th anniversary of the Court, which culminated in the presentation for Pat, and she got a standing ovation! Of course, she passes the recognition on to all the quilters who make the Quilts of Valor, but without her faithful leadership and organization, we would not reach the hundreds of veterans...
