Quilting done for a great cause
QOV 1
The Golden Plains Quilts of Valor will be raffling off this quilt on Nov. 27, at the American Legion Post 180. All the proceeds from the raffle will help the Golden plains Quilts of Valor keep making quilts for area Veterans. Holding the quilt is Chris Krueger a American Legion Rider, Amy Mellor Golden Plains Quilts of Valor member and Dorris Berkley another member of the Golden Plains Quilts of Valor.
Quilt makers and quilting guilds have been around for a long time, but in our own backyard there is a special quilting guild that honors veterans with the quilts its members make. The Golden Plains Quilts of Valor is a local group of women who make quilts and present them to area veterans. Members hold dear to their hearts what these veterans have done for their country.“They have done so much for us and to insure our freedom and way of life,” said Amy Mellor, a member of the Golden Plains Quilts of Valor Bee.
