Our in-store penny jar donations for the month of March will be going to Sew Far North QOV!
The Quilts of Valor Foundation, established in 2003, has groups throughout the country and has awarded over 350,000 quilts. Our local not for profit Group, Sew Far North Quilts of Valor was formed in 2021. They've had 18 ceremonies and given 64 Quilts of Valor to area Veterans and active service members. They have 17 members that meet once a month at the Community Center, where they cut out and sew blocks that create a quilt top. The finished quilt top then goes to Sew Far North Quilting Studio @ 106 Main St Littleton. Andrea, the owner, sews 3 layers of the quilt, then they sew on the outside binding. The quilt then is washed, labeled and ready to be awarded at a ceremony for a Veteran or Active Service Member.
Your in-store donations will go towards purchasing fabric for the quilt tops, batting (for the insulating layer), and backing for the back layer of the quilt. Each quilt is a work of art and they are incredibly happy to be able to honor our Military neighbors with these Quilts of Valor!
