Ladies’ Auxiliary to Greenville’s VFW Post 7262 hosted Chris Stamcoff
of Towne Squares Quilt Club (TSQC) at a recent meeting. Chris explained
the details of a special project being done by the quilters.
TSQC has joined the Quilt of Valor (QOV) program. The QOV program has
as its mission to cover ALL those service- members and veterans touched
by war with quilts. The TSQC has set their goal at 20 quilts for local
military personnel that have been injured in service to our Country.
The TSQC has been asking community groups to help sponsor this project.
The cost of the materials for one quilt is $54. The Ladies’ Auxiliary
to VFW Post 7262 proudly joined the list of sponsors.
From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on National Quilting Day – March 19 – TSQC
members will be at the Chestnut Village Center of the Brethren Home
Retirement Community, demonstrating their quilting skills while working
on their QOV project.
