Quilts of Valour - Canada Delivering quilts of comfort for injured Canadian soldiers. |
|
|
Quilts of Valour are quilts being made for injured military personnel on their return to Canada. As of December 2009 we have been able to deliver over 500 quilts to our armed forces members. We make no statement of the politics involved in Canada’s military deployment. Our mission is “To ensure that our injured Canadian soldiers are recognized for their bravery and commitment of their true patriotism to our country. We give this support through the presentation of quilts of comfort made for our military service people.” We have quilts going out to our armed forces bases right across the country! We have long arm quilters in B.C. and Alberta, and Ontario. We do not know who will receive the quilts, as that information is private. However, we are hearing back from the soldiers and we know they are being received and treasured. Any quilt you make for our soldiers and veterans that are delivered through QoV Canada is considered a QoV Quilt - and you are then a QoV Quilter! We like to have our quilters registered - for purposes of being able to vote at general meetings, and for us to know who and how many quilters we have who have been involved with our mission. If you are making a quilt for our wounded soldiers, please register with Anita at: If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either Lezley in Alberta or Mary in Ontario. Local contacts are also listed in our newsletter found on the home page.
