QOV Recipient
 

Several months ago, I shared this quilt https://www.quiltingboard.com/pictur...r-t299065.html. I rarely participate in the giving of my QOV's since I don't typically know recipients...I just know the individual name and war experience. I met this gentlemen early in the year once and was approached by the organization I make QOV for to consider making him one. Of course, I made him one. He was presented this in November. The organization sent me a picture of him of when he got home that evening. So sweet... I thought I'd share. This gentlemen was a pilot and was shot down twice in Vietnam.

Teen, this is awesome. I hope it keeps him nice and warm!

Wonderful! You can see that he is deeply touched by this quilt and will treasure it always and I'm sure you will treasure the photo. Excellent!

Such a great photo. I want to do more QOV this year.

great quilt. thanks for honoring him

Clearly he's honored to receive your gorgeous quilt.. I wonder if he realizes that the honor is really all yours? There's nothing better than to provide some sort of comfort to those that have so bravely served.

Its a lovely quilt and was obviously received with heartfelt thanks. I can't imagine going through what he did. Bless you

Beautiful quilt and wonderful story. I'm sure he will treasure this lovely quilt.

This pic just made my day. That's what it's all about. Thanks for sharing, you did a wonderful job.

I am making one now for a woman in the Navy. Love your quilt Teen and he looks pleased. So nice.

What an honor for you and for him!

A beautiful quilt for a very deserving Veteran.

Your quilt of valor is a great piece to give a brave man the recognition he deserves.:cool:

This photo is so heartwarming! Love your quilt and sure he will treasure it always.

So great to honor our veterans! The quilt is gorgeous!

Beautiful quilt and beautiful cause. I know his quilt will keep him nice and warm. Kudos to you for making someone so happy.

Bless you for making this Hero a quilt. It is beautiful and I am sure he will enjoy it.

What a marvelous picture! How kind you are!

Good job!!

A real hero! So glad you made the quilt for him, I know he is, too.

Love your quilt and your service! So many vets do not get the honor they deserve.

Love his service to our country and your service to QOV. I know he treasures this. May I ask where you found this backing fabric please?

I bought a whole bolt on sale from my LQS specifically for my QOV's since I make a lot of these. She sold it to me for $3.50/yd so I couldn't say no... It's Robert Kaufman design #16389 "4th of the Farm". Hope this helps..

Thanks for getting back with the info. I don't belong to QOV, but have been asked to join a group that meet, about half hours drive away. The lady that asked me told me they have a quilt top for my husband but won't be able to quilt it until after Christmas. I know she would appreciate finding fabric at this price!

I PM'd you..

Beautifully done and obviously special to him.

Wonderful. Thank you for doing this for him. BrendaK
