We have been making quilts to give to our
returning Military Personnel, Quilts of Valour, as our small way of thanking
the men and women for their service. These quilts are greatly appreciated by
the recipients who have told us they can “feel the love” when they wrap the
quilt around them. Our Guild is the biggest supplier of Quilts to the Trenton
Base. In the past few years we have sent over 150 quilts to them. Kits are
prepared by volunteers and handed out to the members to complete. Several
ladies with long arm quilting machines have helped to quilt them. We have
received several letters back from the recipients expressing their gratitude.

50/50 Draw and Quilts of Valour
This year we held monthly 50/50 draws
with the proceeds going towards the purchase of fabric to make quilts for our
returning military personnel. This endeavor was warmly received by the members
and we raised $794. With that money we were able to prepare 43 kits which were
taken by our members to create the quilts.
Thank you so much for your overwhelming
support. These quilts are greatly appreciated by the men and women who receive
them. This project will continue next year.
