Quilts of Valor for brothers
 
5 Attachment(s)
My sisters and I had a little quilt retreat at my house this month. We made 2 Quilt of Valor quilt tops for our brothers. Their time in the service (Air Force and Navy) was in the 1960's and I don't know if anyone has ever told them how much we appreciate their service. So, we took a week out of this summer and created these quilts for them, I quilted the one with the red and white stripes and another will be quilting the other one. I am so proud of this collaborative effort! Labels are made but not pressed and attached yet!

Between brothers who fought for our country and sisters who lovingly stitched those treasures I'd say you have an amazing family :)

What a thoughtful gift. It is so important that our military people be honored not only by strangers, but by their families. Your brothers will be deeply moved. Bring the Kleenex.

I love those!! Wonderful, beautiful, and thoughtful with so much sister love! Be sure to take pictures when they are presented to your brothers and if you and they are ok with it....share those with us as well. Thank them from us for their service! Well done!

I didn't start quilting until a year or so ago. I wish I could have made one for my two brothers who served but they're gone now. I'm glad you two did this and honored their service. Great job and gorgeous quilts.

Wanabee Quiltin 07-28-2017 06:49 AM

What a lovely gift. The guys sure didn't get much of a welcome home so I'm glad you made these for them.
