Quilt of Valor Sew-in
Sept/Oct 2016
Hudson, WY |
Friday evening, Sheri and I went to the Quilt of Valor Sew-in, held in the Hudson Town Hall. We selected kits from the table and settled down to sew. Another friend, Katheryn came from Lander to help: she pressed and cut for both Sheri and me. It was a welcome treat and helped us get more accomplished.

Saturday morning QOV volunteers
October 1, 2016
Hudson, WY |
Saturday morning, I was at my machine again along with a growing crowd of wonderful ladies and a couple of men. By afternoon, even more quilters arrived. Friends, Jeni and Mary came to press on Saturday afternoon, and they were kept busy.
In the morning, the cutting station was clear, but by afternoon, more volunteers had arrived so table space was at a premium.

raffle quilt
a fund-raising project for the local QOV group |
Isn't this raffle quilt a beauty? Of course, I purchased some tickets.
Working with other volunteers was great fun and inspiring: I will definitely attend the next QOV sew-in.
What a fun time. I don't sew, but I love to get together with other knitters and crocheters to make things for a good cause. The camaraderie is a wonderful thing.

It is wonderful for you all to gather together and work for such a wonderful cause. Am sure it was fun to meet others with the same interest and passion.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I get raffle tickets? Would like to win the quilt for Tyler.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful raffle quilt. Sounds like a fun couple of days for everyone. It's amazing how much more sewing a person can get done when someone else is doing the pressing. Our guild has an occasional "sew in" to work on charity quilts. It's always enjoyable and productive.
ReplyDeleteSo glad it was fun!!!! Wish you had won!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thing to do!!! Great quilt they raffled off too!
ReplyDeleteSounds like great fun! That's what I need--someone to cut and press for me! The raffle quilt is gorgeous. I would have bought tickets even though I never win anything. It's a curse. I've never won anything in my life, even a door prize.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a fun and productive time! The quilt up for raffle is lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt's like an old-fashioned bee, but with modern sewing machine and rotary cutters! Glad you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time! It's always a good feeling when quilter's gather to stitch for others.
ReplyDeleteThat raffle quilt is superb. Did you win?
What fun!! If I attended I would be busy with an iron! Good to know there are groups that get together for Quilts of Valor! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to sew with other quilters. And, even better to have helpers to iron and pin for you.
