Quilt of Valor “Shopping” and Sew Days will be Feb. 29 and March 1, at Alida Cooperative Church, 2243 3300 Ave, Junction City, KS.
Hours will be 9:00 AM-5:00 PM (or later Thursday if needed).
During the past nine years, the Central Flint Hills Area Quilt of Valor Project has touched the lives of over 470 military veterans and active-duty service members and their families by awarding comforting and healing Quilts of Valor. Nominations continue to come in and additional QOVs are needed.
Fabric, batting & backing supplies are available and will be displayed for QOV quiltmakers to shop at the Alida Cooperative Church, 2243 3300 Ave, Junction City, February 29 & March 1. QOV quiltmakers may select fabrics to use in making QOVs. Please bring a quilt pattern(s) you would like to make to cut yardage needed or be willing to shop available fabric (& fabric scraps) to design & make a QOV. A few cutting mats and rulers are available, but quiltmakers may want to bring their own plus a rotary cutter. Raised tables, ironing boards & irons are available.
Quilters are invited to bring their sewing machine, other sewing tools, and sewing thread and spend time making QOVs with fellow quiltmakers. Machines may be left overnight on Thursday. No meals are provided. Snacks are welcome. A kitchen is available.
