Quilts of Valour are quilts being made for injured military personnel on their return to Canada. As of December 2010 we have been able to deliver over 1300 quilts to our injured service members and to veterans. We make no statement of the politics involved in Canada’s military deployment. We have quilts going out to our armed forces bases, rehabilitation hospitals and veterans homes right across the country! We have long arm quilters who have registered their participation 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 your name, mailing address and a phone number at: Register@QuiltsOfValour.ca 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.You can also find more details about the way QoV works at this LINK.
