Meet Rosemary Daws from Texas, shown here wrapped in a Quilt of Valor and Love!
Sometimes the most unexpected things unfold when we attend events like this.
I have always believed that quilting is much more than fabric, thread, machines and patterns. The best part of quilting is our relationships with others.
The story goes that Pepper Cory (shown here with Rosemary) was talking about quilts along with some of her own family history, and mentioned the military service of her father.
And then in a small voice someone (aka. Rosemary!) pipes up and says “I am a Vietnam Veteran”.
Before we knew it, Pepper had grabbed Kaye England, who is our backbone and facilitator at this event, and Kaye says that she will take care of it!
She calls up Rita Pennington, who is the Land of Lincoln coordinator for Quilts of Valor here in Illinois, and she arranges an impromptu Quilt of Valor “wrapping” as a surprise for Rosemary (And all who were not in the KNOW that this was going to happen) at our silent auction event last night which is raising money for breast cancer research.
Good things happen when we gather together to quilt with one another!
