Quilts Of Valor Minnesota Quilting Honor & Comfort For Our Wounded Participate at Quilter’s Haven

Join our QOV group every second Thursday of the month from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Block Kits Available for $2, or request a free pattern

Pillowcase Kits Available for $8  

All proceeds used for QOV expenses.

Wounded Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Airman want to know two things: How their buddy is doing and does the average American care about their contributions in keeping terrorism away from our shores. The answer to the first is given by the military. The answer to the second can only be given by the average American. And, one way you can do this, is to help make a Quilt of Valor. Over 3,500 of our men and women have died as a result of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The official number of wounded is over 60,000.

Join the thousands who have shown support and given tangible comfort to our physically, psychologically and spiritually wounded service members. Help make a Quilt of Valor. They DO make a difference in their lives!

There are four ways to get involved making a QOV and a one of them doesn't even involve sewing!

1) Make a finished QOV quilt and bring it to your local quilt shop. QOV's should be a minimum size of 50" x 60" and quilted, either by hand or machine. It should include a label, washing instructions; pillowcase and a message to the soldier would also be nice. For more detailed info visit www.qovf.org.

2) Make a quilt-top with a backing. Don't worry about quilting it because we have longarmers who volunteer to do that part. Contact Page Johnson at pagej@frontiernet.net .

3) Machine or hand quilt a QOV top. Contact Page 651-423-5727 if you’re willing to help

4) Donate funds to the QOV non-profit foundation to offset the costs of making and shipping the QOVs to military hospitals. Or, donate fabrics to our local QOV group making quilts. Contact Vivian Smithburg 651-322-4563.

The most frequent remark from a QOV is: "We Didn't Know Anyone Cared."
