Can One Volunteer Make A Difference?

 This One Can!

Our Strip Quilting 'Diva' Doris - one of our Valued Illiana Quilts of Honor Volunteers
 
 
What has she done to Make a Difference, you ask?

Let me 'show' you...

Tub FULL of Patriotic Quilt Tops!

These TWO (2) Stacks of quilt tops represent 150 Beloved Veterans in total who have been/will be Honored and Awarded a quilt because of our Amazing Volunteer, Doris!

A QOH Panel Challenge - FUN!

Our fearless Quilts Of Honor leader, Gail, has issued a panel challenge for those of us willing to take her up on her offer.  Once we saw this gorgeous eagle panel and the accompanying rich fabrics, we knew we just had to participate in this exciting panel challenge!

Panel Challenge - eagle panel and fabrics to be used

Eagle panel w/gorgeous coordinating fabrics

Even though Gail gave us a deadline of September 1, 2020 - Illiana Quilts Of Honor has chosen to finish ours a month early, so it may be awarded to a very deserving Combat Veteran during one of our upcoming QOH Award Events in August.  However, we won't be sharing ANY of our completed quilt challenge pics 'until' this panel challenge deadline is met ;-)


Happy sewing EVERYONE!
