    Default 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.
