What's Old is new again - Reaching Out

In 2005, Suzanne Wade and Kathy Adams – friends and believers, starting quilting for QOVF. Simple enough, two ladies for a great cause.

Today, Suzanne has retired to California and has started a new local group and become affiliated with the SoCal QOVF.

Her new journey started by talking to a group of other retirees, inducing great excitement and getting lots of commitments.

Quilting day number one came…party of one please.

Undeterred, Suzanne quilted on!

What Suzanne left in Maryland is a legacy. You don’t move on without first leaving a stamp on the work you began.

Tomorrow, Saturday February 28…there will be an estimated 60 people sewing and quilting!

Bless you Suzanne for your work on Quilts of Valor and the strong foundation you laid in Germantown Maryland.

In days gone by, our Mothers chatted across the fence with neighbors. Today, that still happens, but there is a new generation we need to reach.

Facebook, Flickr!, Picasa, Meetup!, Blogs, YouTube, Keywords, SEO, …good grief!

I was surprised, let me say astonished, to see not just the 20 / 30 somethings…but ladies, there are MOMS -30,40, 50+ somethings and Grand-Mas too!

What does all this mean? We need to reach out in as many relevant forms as possible.

We need to muster our forces, multiply the numbers of people in our groups.
We need to train up, teach solid basic techniques and ensure that the work we do for those so deserving is the very best, Always
