We're extremely proud of our new Fashion and Interior Design Ambassador, Trinity! She has already hit the ground running with a Beginner's Sewing Class, and has big plans for the Quilts of Valor Project. We can't wait to see what you accomplish this year! 🍀

Hi, my name is Trinity Patterson! I am an incoming junior in high school from District 5 Rusk County. I have participated in Fashion and Interior Design projects since 3rd grade, and my personal favorite project is fashion show. I am excited to take my leadership and involvement in the FID program to a new level by becoming a FID Ambassador. This year I look forward to having an impact in the program as chairman of the Quilts of Valor Committee. I can't wait to see the way we grow QOV in the state! In my spare time I take ballet lessons at Dance-N-Drill in Tyler where I have danced for the past 12 years, I am also an assistant dance teacher there, as well. I can't wait for this upcoming year and all the things it holds!
