In the next 2 weeks our Quilt of Valor group has 9 quilts scheduled to be awarded, at 4 different events held in our area. Two events will be Veteran's Day luncheons, 2 quilts will be awarded at a school district Veteran's Day program, and 1 will be awarded at a DAR meeting. We're so honored to be involved with these.
There are some quilts that still need to be washed and all of them need labels sewn on. But the certificates are all printed. And our paperwork is in order.
At our recent guild quilt show we were honored to award a quilt to a veteran. The original plan had been for me to give a brief "talk" about Quilts of Valor. Then one of our members asked - why not actually present a quilt. Some of our ladies in the QOV group had never been able to be present at an award before, so this was wonderful.
