Quilts of Valor in Franklin, CT

JulieM-LoveGloryNews from the field, submitted by Marcus sales rep Julie Manning:

Debbie Mackenzie from Stitch Chicks Quilt Shop in Franklin, CT, hosted a ‘Quilts of Valor Charity Sew Session.’  During the event, customers created five of these quilts for the Quilts of Valor program.  The group took advantage of the gorgeous LOVE & GLORY center panel, Strip-It fabric and coordinates by Faye Burgos to stitch up simple but meaningful gifts to show their gratitude to our  US servicemen.
