Niles Piecemakers supports the local
​Quilts of Valor group: In the Bend.

You can find their Facebook page here. All interested people are welcome to come help. If you don't sew, you can iron, cut, organize fabric and enjoy the fellowship.
The Presentation Case pattern shown below is a fun way to make a pillowcase. Quilts of Valor In the Bend welcomes donations of pillowcases made in red, white and blue which are used as presentation cases for the quilts.

Free patterns for Stars can be found here.
There are directions for making the pillow/presentation cases below.
