Quilt of Valor

I made this quilt for a gentleman who served ten (10) yrs. in the Army and ten (10) yrs. in the Air Force. He was surprised when I presented it to him. We are fellow campers and he is such a wonderful person.

What a kind & wonderful act of kindness you did for your friend & our hero. That is a beautiful quilt that he will cherish all his life. The photos of him during his military days was perfect for this quilt. Absolutely beautiful and thank you for sharing it with us.

you are great--so touching! my local guild provided quilts of appreciation to all our county (rural) Vets from WWII(yes, a few left) to present--took 3years and still have new ones but those Vets were so touched! Especially, the VN Vets who felt really left out.

That was so sweet of you and it obviously moved him more than anyone might have thought it would. That's a super feel good moment.

What a wonderful and thoughtful gift for your friend’s unselfish service to our military. Beautiful quilt.

Great job, I'm sure that is a quilt he will forever treasure.

Karamarie 08-24-2018 04:04 AM

You sure made that guys day. One of my brothers recently had triple by-pass surgery and I picked out one of my quilts and sent to him. I sent it by USPS for $7 and he received it the very next day. It was even insured for that price. Anyway he called me the very next day and he was absolutely overjoyed with it. Couldn't believe it. Said he hadn't used or had a quilt since he was a boy at home. Now gals and guys that is why we quilt. Keep quilting.

KwiltyKahy 08-24-2018 04:26 AM

outstanding!!! Makes me want to finish the QOV I have started.

Taughtby Grandma 08-24-2018 05:02 AM
