The Quilts of Valor concept began in 2005 by Blue Star Mom, Catherine Roberts, who had a vision to see that all returning veterans were welcomed home with love and gratitude for their service. That vision is now carried out by quilt guilds across America who award a handmade quilt to ALL service men and women who have served in our armed forces. We , at St. Peter’s have awarded a total of 14 quilts to our members. We again wish to honor more and have planned a presentation on November 10, 2019. We are especially looking for World War II and Vietnam veterans. If you are a veteran and would like to receive a quilt, or would like to recommend a veteran member for a quilt, please complete the Quilts of Valor background information sheet and submit it as directed by October 1, 2019.
If you have any questions about these Quilts of Valor for our members, you may contact Faye Austin at 916-682-2326.
