We are honored to be a Quilt of Valor® (QOV) registered shop! A Quilt of Valor is a quality, handmade quilt awarded to a Service Member or a Veteran who has been touched by war. The quilt says unequivocally, "Thank you for your service and sacrifice in serving our nation."

Our QOV outreach began in 2021 when we awarded 14 quilts to Mid-South Veterans. Our QOV efforts have continued and we are again collecting donated quilt blocks, quilt tops, and completed quilts. We have a group called The Sewing House Quilts of Valor Volunteers on Facebook and always welcome new members! Donations are accepted year-round!

WHAT IS A QUILT OF VALOR?

A Quilt of Valor® (QOV) is a quality, handmade quilt that is machine or hand quilted. It is awarded to a Service Member or Veteran who has been touched by war. The Quilt says unequivocally, “Thank you for your service and sacrifice in serving our nation.”

To use the term Quilt of Valor, Quilts of Valor or QOV, the quilt must be a specific size, must have a label with required information, it must be awarded (it is not a gift) and it must be recorded.

The Mission of the Quilts of Valor® Foundation is to cover Service Members and Veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.
