Veterans appreciate quilts

Dear Editor:

The S&B Quilters Guild would like to thank everyone who donated quilts to their 2012 Vets Quilt Project. Many thanks to all those who donated their time, talent and quilts to help make this a success – Tuesday Strippers, S&B Quilters, Basket Case Quilters, Surface Creek Quilters, Crawford Quilters, Paonia Quilters, and individual quilters and guilds not mentioned.

Through your kindness 225 disabled veterans and 18 guide dogs received quilts. The veterans are very appreciative and amazed of those who give of their time and care enough to make these quilts so that each may have one. The Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic held in Snowmass is sponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Disabled American Veterans. S&B Quilters will be returning in 2013. If you would like to donate to this fulfilling outreach or would like more information, please contact S&B Quilters Guild by e-mail - This email address is being protected from spambots.
