Quilt of Valor groups across the nation are dedicated to honoring Veterans from all branches of service by gifting them a handmade quilt.Each and every stitch represents a hug to the Veteran from the people of this nation. As to date, 389.099 quilts have been awarded.
If you would like to be a part of this program and help honor Scott County veterans, please call 423-627-7348. We need all quilters of any skill level; and we can even teach you how to sew. You can volunteer by helping piece quilt tops, or quilting or even adding the binding, also helping cut out fabric, ironing quilt blocks on sewing days, donating patriotic fabrics and many other ways. You do not have to make a complete quilt on your own unless you want to.
