That is a fantastic patriotic quilt of valor. You did a great job. I pray your DGS heals quickly and returns to normal function. Please tell him I said, "Thank you for your service" and I am proud of him. My husband was in the AF for 21 years.

Can I pile on here, too? Please thank your DGS for his service & know that he's in my thoughts & prayers. I'm familiar with QOV's (having made a slug of them) but wasn't familiar with "Miracle Quilts" so I Googled them. What a wonderful organization, born out of such a terrible loss. Bless you for doing this!

Hi Jean, First, sorry to hear about your grandson and thank God he is going to be okay, and a speedy recovery. Tell him thank you for his wonderful service. Your quilt is outstanding and as usual your love shows thru it. All your quilts are so pretty. You are a wonderful addition to Miracle Quilts. I am looking forward to seeing all of our wonderful volunteers coming back after the summer break. I do miss seeing all of you. Carole, Jill and I are going over things and getting prepared for next month. Take care and may God Bless you and your family.....Claudia

this quilt is a real beauty and one any vet would love to have. you put work into the design aesthetics and it shows. may your grandson heal completely. i have had several relatives serve in this last war and it has been brutal. there is physical as well as mental healing needed.

What a beautiful quilt. Please thank your grandson for his courageous service to his country. I'm recovering from a C-4-5 spinal cord injury - tell him I'm praying for his recovery, and that there is a light at the end of that tunnel. God Bless him for his service and recovery.

It's beautiful. I hope it speeds him on his way to healing and recovery. I hope it brings him warmth, comfort and security. How could it not, I'm sure you made it with all the love it could hold. Prayers for your/our fallen soldier.

That is one fantastic quilt & so are you for doing them. Soldiers need all the compassion & appreciation that they can get, not only in the U.S. but the world.

What a BEAUTIFUL quilt!! I wish all of our returning soldiers could get a Quilt of Valor type quilt, after all many of these guys have been deployed 3 or more times. My son has gone 4!! Patriotism is back in the fore front, so much different that Viet Nam when our soldiers in uniform would come home to be spit on in the airports. My son used to be quite puzzled when people would tell him thanks, since he wasn't around during Viet Nam, his reply is always, "Thank You, but it's my job!" I truly believe that very few of our soldiers are coming home without some form of post traumatic stress. Ed is a Ssgt and has taken it very personal when any of 'his' men have been either injured or killed. I noticed when Ed was home last, he was either snuggled in one of my quilts or afghans. Maybe, some kind of blanket to let them know our arms are always around them? Done with the soapbox--again, what a beautiful quilt!
