I longarmed a Quilt of Valor for the National Foundation last January and they sent a photo of the ceremony. It was awarded to Army Veteran Specialist Allan Gentry who served from 1974 to 1977. His duty stations were in Ft. Eustis VA and Schauenburg Germany as a truck driver. His quilt was awarded at the Delta Area Senior Center in Delta PA where he is a member. His wife was present along with many other Senior Center members to thank him for his service to our country.
I've seen many barn quilts in my travels around Iowa and North Carolina. I decided to put one on my house. My husband did a great job of hanging it! Do you have a barn quilt on your property?
Sleep in Heavenly Peace builds twin beds and donates them to children who have been sleeping on the floor. It's a great way to give back to the community. They have a nationwide building day on Sept. 14th in cooperation with Lowe's, who donates much of the wood used that day. My quilt will be given to a deserving child on that day.
I've been busy this week, trying to catch up with my longarming schedule. I'm a bit behind! This is the quilt on my frame this afternoon, a king size made by a customer. I have 8 more lined up and I'm having fun!
I'm longarming, and on my frame will be 2 Quilt of Valor tops. Both are for the national Quilt of Valor Foundation. This was the first one...
If you would like to serve veterans in this way you can visit the QOV Foundation website to find a quilt sewing group in your area. There are groups all across the country!

The search function on their site doesn't work very well if you enter a zip code. You have better results if you zoom in on your location using their map.
