I have not looked at the pictures yet, but just wanted to thank you for your generosity. What a loving soul you are to think of our vets.

That is amazing! Thank you so much!!

All of the quilts look lovely and seem to have been enjoyed by the recipients! God bless you for your kindness!

Yes, thank you for your generosity and time to make so many quilts for our veterans.

M.Elizabeth 11-10-2015 02:40 PM

Wow! I can't imagine making that many for vets - but it is a wonderful thing. My son served twice in Afghanistan and came back with a serious case of PTSD. He would be thrilled if he were recognized in this way.

How very generous of you. Looks like they were well received.

redquilter 11-10-2015 03:45 PM

Wow! You are an amazing person. There's a special place in heaven for you. These quilts (what I can see of them) are gorgeous and so special. Bless your heart for your kindness and generosity.

What an honorable task... twenty two quilts is quite a feat. I can only imagine how heart warming it was for you to see your quilts in the hands of those veterans. God Bless you.

What a special thing to do. My friend & I presented a QOV to one of our neighbors yesterday. I had pieced it and my husband did the long arm quilting.

silverfoxmag 11-12-2015 07:25 AM

God Bless you Gloria! And Bless all our Vets!

WOW! The pictures are wonderful and to honor the vets was even more! YOU did an awesome job in making 22 quilts. You should be honored in return. Thank you for sharing the pictures.

josie bass 11-12-2015 07:34 AM

You deserved to be honored too. Those quilts are beautiful and the display in the church was gorgeous. I know the vets appreciated them. God bless you and all the vets of the USA.

Start Out with just a few pick out some Buddies of your Son make them all a QUilt of Valor. This is a gift that I know shows on their Face of the Joy & Honor to receive it. The quilts don't have to be elaborate pic a pattern ( or make up your own )that is simple. They will Cherish it , Just to be recognized in this way , the quilt of Love as many Soldiers call them. I have seen this Joy & Honor . They Stand so tall when their name is called to accept.

Bless you for sharing your talents and creativity with those so worthy of recognition!

Carol Wilson 11-12-2015 11:00 AM

Well done, we should have something like that in Australia.

the King's kid 11-12-2015 11:08 AM

Thank you for sharing your project with all of us. What a great idea. Gotta start now to put a plan in action for quilters in my area to start for next year's project.

M.Elizabeth, go to http://www.qovf.org/req-quilt.html. This is a link to request a QOV online or you can contact this gal: North Carolina West Liz View [email protected]. She is the coordinator for your area.

I am a member of several of the QOV groups here in Southern Nevada.

LousPeachy 11-12-2015 12:26 PM

I bet there wasn't a dry eye in the church. What a wonderful idea! And you must have quilted till you could quilt no more! God bless you and all the others who participated!

What a marvelous thing you have been a main part of! Thank you from me for helping to thank and honor our veterans.

Did anyone know that the Friday before Mother's Day is military spouse appreciation day and April is the month of the military child? I only learned this today, so next year I hope to take a role in spreading this information. It's wear purple day on Friday, May 6th.
