"Woodside Quilting QOV Group".

Thanks to you and the interest in this very worthy cause, our group is at 20 + Quilters!
What better way to honor our Veterans than with the start of our own "Woodside Quilting - Quilts of Valor Group".

We are proud to be the first Certified QOV Quilt shop group in the nation! 

Our Group will start meeting for 2023 next April - November

Interested in Joining a QOV Group?
If you are in the Des Moines and surrounding areas and are interested in joining a QOV Group, our QOV Group at Woodside Quilting in Des Moines Iowa welcomes you. We have programs like Monthly Sew In’s, Trunk Shows, QOV Retreats, a QOV quilt block program, National teachers and other opportunities in the shop with lots of fun creating Quilts of Valor for many deserving individuals. You don't need to be a quilter to join our QOV group. There is always a need for people at our Sew days to help iron, bind, help with presentations, fundraising and we also need people to help with quilting the QOV finished tops. If you are interested in the QOV group, stop in, email or call the store to register your name and get on our email list.

(There is a nominal $10 group member fee collected by us on behalf of the QOVF.)

We will have lots of exciting fun ahead of us!   

• Our Group meets the 2nd Monday of the month (full weeks). Please see our calendar of events for the dates.
• We work on our own QOV quilts and we plan group QOV quilts and other events for those days.
• These special fun group projects are announced in our Member Group QOV emails.
