I live in Whitingham, Vermont. This is on the boarder of Massachusetts. I am married and we have 2 children and 3 grandchildren.
I am retired and have been making quilts for years. When I read about the QOVF and having many family members and friends serve and fight in combat, I decided I wanted to do something for the men and women of our country who fought for our freedom. One of the first quilts I ever made for the QOV was one that, my husband had asked me to make for his brother who had severed in Vietnam. Well, I did, and it was given on Christmas that year with all the family here and it really was touching, and really sparked just how much this really meant to those who received them.
I have been the coordinator since 2006 and we have found it to be very rewarding to be able to thank those who have severed our country
