| Home of the Brave Project TRQG participates in a national grass roots project which sends quilts to the families of military personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. This project follows the U.S. Civil War tradition of civilians supplying quilts to soldiers. Our quilts are primarily sent to families of military personnel from North Carolina. In February, 2007 we began with a workshop to complete the churn dash blocks and put quilts together. Thus far, we have supplied over 56 quilts to families who have lost a loved one as an expression of our sympathy for their tragic loss. Quilts continue to be made by our members and delivered to families who have lost loved ones. This is a nationwide project with many Guilds across our country participating. Unfortunately, this effort will continue into next year. Directions for making churn-dash block: |
