On Saturday, July 20th, 2019, our Guild hosted the Tennessee Valley Quilters Association (TVQA) annual meeting of Guilds from all over Tennessee and northern Alabama. We met at a local high school in middle Tennessee.
Andrew
Lee, was one of our speakers for the day.
Andrew is a retired soldier who proposes quilting as a way to reduce PTSD
... Andrew
Lee served
in the US Army for ten years. He hopes to one day create a
sewing therapy group for veterans.
I was able to take (1) completed Quilt Of Valor to Andrew for him to award to a Veteran of his choosing. I also took (3) other QOV tops that need additional work to finish (borders, more blocks, sashings, etc.). It was a "Win, Win" donation.
Teresa Duryea Wong, was our second speaker for the day. Teresa wrote the book, American Cotton: Farm to Quilt. Teresa had a slide show with approx. 100 slides which was very interesting.
