The Sheep Camp Quilters meet the 3rd Thursday of each month from 10:00 am until we get tired, or until 5:00 pm, whichever comes first!
The group makes quilt tops, sends them for quilting, makes presentation bags for each quilt, applies labels and writes notes of thanks to our wounded warriers!
This group is currently looking for NEW members. Call Stephanie at 307-856-1468 if you think you can join the group -- even if you can't make it every month -- to make QOV's for our soldiers.
Everyone is invited to help us out, whether sewing, ironing, or cutting fabric, all skill levels can do this project!

Under Our Wings
"A Community Service Event"
This is the highlight of our year at Sheep Camp. On 
Friday, September 23 and Saturday, September 24, Sheep Camp Quilt Supply hosted the largest event we’ve ever dreamed about. This community service event introduced new (novice) sewers/quilters to the joy of quilt-making while paired with an experienced (mentor) sewer/quilter. These duos pieced quilt tops for Fremont County Servicemen and Servicewomen who put their lives on the line in today’s wars.
County businesses co-hosted this event by donating the quilt kits and other items.
Donations are accepted and used for our Quilts of Valor’s distribution of quilts to our troops. Adults and students (grades 5 and up, accompanied by an adult) were all welcome as participants in this activity.

blue quilt tops for our veterans! Thanks so much to our sponsors as well – we
