In 2003, the Quilts of Valor Foundation emerged from the depths of a dream, a powerful vision that sparked a movement of healing and honor. It all began with Catherine Roberts, whose son Nat was deployed in Iraq. Catherine recounted the dream vividly: a young man, burdened by the weight of war, found solace in a quilt, his despair transformed into hope. The message was clear: Quilts equal healing. And thus, from the threads of a dream, a profound mission was born.
The official Quilts of Valor Foundation has comforted over 379,000 Veterans with Quilts of Valor.
Here at QBPN, we're on a mission to spread that patriotic patchwork love far and wide. So gather 'round, fellow stitch enthusiasts, as we unfurl our Quilt of Valor patterns like banners of freedom!
