The mission of Quilts of Valor is to cover service members and veterans with the comfort and healing powers of quilts. There are many ways that quilters touch the lives of those needing a quilt and the http://www.qovf.org/ is a great way to use that red, white and blue stash. Over 150,000 quilts have been gifted...that is over 150,000 souls who have been given a bit of comfort and, that has to feel good...as much for the receiver as the giver.

You can check out their site and find a contact person in your area.

My friend Marilyn has been making Quilts of Valor for the last few months. In her mind she has made all the family and friend quilts but still loves to quilt. There are so many worthy organizations that need quilts but she chose the Quilts of Valor and has enjoyed making these red, white and blue creations. She's a topper and gets to pass off her tops to be quilted by another quilter who donates her expertise by doing the quilting. A great quilting tag team. I think quilting should be added as an Olympic event!!! All you quilters who donate quilts to non-profit group deserve a Gold Medal!!!

Have a great week and we'll see you next week with an Empty Spools Report from Asilomar!!!
