Our Quilts of Valor group has several quilt award events coming up around the Veteran's Day week, so we've been busy getting things ready.
There are 5 quilts all washed, labeled and ready, along with the certificates. Two will be awarded on Nov. 6th to female veterans at a local DAR meeting. Three will be awarded at the local Veteran's Day luncheon on the 11th. That event has become an annual tradition now and the Legion, VFW, and DAV work with us to nominate worthy vets. That big container underneath - holds all of the tops waiting to be quilted, along with some backings, and some block sets - all for future quilts.
There are 3 more that will be awarded at a Veteran's Day luncheon in a nearby small town on Sunday the 10th. Those still need labels, and I'm just waiting on the paperwork for correct spelling of names. I need to remember to take that box with me when I go there, as it belongs to one of their Legion members.

You’re going to be busy. Happy to hear your group is able to award so any QOV - good job!
How great to bring community groups together for the presenations, and to involve. the DAR. The second quilt design is really unusual for a QOV. What a relief that the colors stayed where they were supposed to!
I really like the red striped border in the one you had to wash, so glad that the washing of it turned out so positive.
Wow what pretty quilts! Glad they washed okay! I was trying to figure out if there was a design in the flying parts....looks random to me the top left part looks like a diamond almost. Nice design that would use up scraps! Many thanks to your quilting group!!
You have some wonderful quilts for the Veterans. Hope all the ceremonies go smoothly.
ooh i love QOV award ceremonies...and at the DAR meeting too...wonderful!
Great quilts!! Have a great presentation!!!!
