A Norwalk quilt shop worked on National Local Quilt Shop Day Saturday to give a special gift to veterans.

A group of people at Christie's Quilting Boutique worked on their Quilts of Valor to give to 20 local veterans by May.

The group meticulously crafted each tile for every quilt made, which takes days.

The group has honored veterans of all ages and is grateful to be able to tell them, “Thank you.”
