Quilts of Valor |

Our guild supports the Patriots Triangle QOV chapter. Their mission is to comfort and heal our service members and veterans touched by War with comforting and healing quilts. They encourage and mentor new and experienced quilters, sewers, organizations, individuals and partner with businesses that wish to support and honor service members and veterans for their selfless service to our country.
They hold various workshops monthly for those interested in community sewing events. You cant contact them at [email protected]
You can also check out their Facebook page under Patriots TriangleQOV. For more information on the National organization and to nominate a veteran go to www.qovf.org/
