Wrapping with love and appreciation to veterans, 28 quilts will be presented to show them gratitude this Sunday.
Since 2010 Emporia Regional Quilters Guild has made over 400 quilts. Most of them are requests from families and members of the community that want to give a special thank you to their loved ones and this Veterans Day is no exception.
Kathy Hamman a member of the Emporia Regional Quilters Guild says they started with the application early this year because every quilt takes around 20-30 hours to make.
This year the Quilts of Gratitude Presentation Ceremony will take place at 1 pm in the Anderson Building at the Lyon County Fairgrounds as part of the All Veterans Tribute Week.
