This is the new home of HVQ:

The Harlan Valley Grange has been remodeled and is now

This is our third week meeting here...

This is our most recent comfort quilt:

We plan to present it to a special person in our community.
We will tell you more in February.



The Harlan Valley Quilters are off to a very Quilty start
in 2012



Our Snow this week had limbs snapping off the trees...
and falling on the power line to the
Harlan Community Hall.

We were concerned that we would be without power to run our sewing machines, lights, etc.......that just wouldn't do!


Consumer Power.....to the RESCUE !




The repair men showed up quickly and repaired the downed line.




Many Thanks.....Consumer Power
You guys are terrific !
