Quilts of Valor is a nation-wide program that shows support to wounded soldiers through the gift of a quilt during their recovery.  Here's some history:

 

In 2003, Catherine Roberts of Seaford, DE, started the Quilts of Valor Foundation when her son and his 630th MP Company were being deployed from Germany to Iraq for one year. She was thrown into a group of other Americans who send their loved one into harm’s way. She started the group by appealing to both quilt-toppers and the longarming group to volunteer their fabric, their talents and time to make wartime quilts of valor that would comfort our wounded. 


The mission of the QOV Foundation is to cover ALL wounded and injured service members from the War on Terror, whether physical or psychologically, with wartime quilts called Quilts of Valor (QOV).  Quilts are also being given to many of the families who have lost loved ones in this war.

 

Threads of Love has decided to dedicate a day and a half toward this worthwhile project.
