Introducing June Moore, the Director of QOVF.

Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is June Moore.

I grew up on a sheep and cattle ranch  along the Columbia River in rural central Washington, where I waa raised to believe that I could be or do anything I set my mind to. 

I am the proud mother of three successful, independent women and the grandmother of two young women who appear to be headed in that direction.

I have loved sewing and other needle arts since I was 9 years old.  I have sewed everything from prom dresses to horseblankets.  I had made occaisonal quilts through the years, and started making applique` quilts to decorate my classroom walls in 1991.  In 2000 I was introduced to longarm quilting, and it became my passion.  I began my longarm business in 2003.

 I first volunteered for Quilts of Valor in January of 2005, then took over as Longarm/ Topper coordinator in October of that year.  Since then, Quilts of Valor has been a very large part of our lives.  I am currently serving as  Director.

 I spent 28 years teaching chemistry, physics and math in high school and middle school and then retired from teaching at the end of the 2006 school year.   Now I  spend my time quilting and working as a volunteer for the Quilts of Valor Foundation.  

For the last 29 years I have been married to my "true love" Mike, who is my helpmate in all things, especially those related to spreading the Quilts of Valor Foundation message.
