    Default More Quilt of Valors

    Some of you may remember that I posted a Quilt of Valor for a man I had met at my local Lowes store. He belongs to The Patriot Guard Riders and had asked if I'd make another one for them to raffle off as a fundraiser. The quilt with the eagle is for them. The log cabin Quilt of Valor is for my sons Sgt. in the air force. My son had gone through a really tough time and both his Sgt. and the Sgt's wife stepped up in a big way and helped him through it!! It's so hard as parent to be so far away when your child is in turmoil!! My husband and I appreciated their kindness towards him so much that I made them this quilt and also 2 pillowcases for their children and mailed them out to them. They received them this past week and called me yesterday to thank me and let me know how much they loved them!!

    Beautiful quilts! Our veterans have gone through so much and it feels good to give them a reminder of how much they mean to us

    Both are beautiful labors of love. Please thank your son for his service for me. What a good guy you've raised.
