Veterans sewing for Veterans


Had the most amazing sew day yesterday. Veterans sewing for Veterans. Several of the
Veterans that received QOVs at the December 7th presentation came together today
to pay it forward. They had never sewed a stitch but with a bit of coaxing
and guidance they made enough string blocks (120 in about 5 hours) to make 4
QOVs. They were so proud and pleased their efforts would make it possible for
others to feel the honor and comfort of a QOV.

  2. What a wonderfully creative way to involve Veterans! I'm sure all involved had a great time and were happy to have the opportunity to do their part. Good job!

  4. I'll bet the spirit of Al Lind was hovering over the room cheering (um, prodding?) them on!
