This is a record of *Quilts of Valor created and awarded
2013-2014

Each one created in memory and honor of my daddy,
~ U.S. Navy Seaman William E. Walls ~
a Veteran of
World War II and the Korean Conflict

*Future quilts created to offer a "Thank You for your service" and the long awaited "Welcome Home" to our Veterans and Military Service Members will not be a "Quilt of Valor" due to the Foundation's changes that I cannot/do not support.

It began simply....

#6 - Last Man Standing

I joined the Quilts of Valor Foundation last year, one year too late to make one for my daddy, a WWII and Korean Conflict Veteran. Richard, however, is the last man standing among the group - lifelong high school buddies with Daddy. This one's for Richard, a WWII hero, in honor of my daddy.










Designed, created, and quilted by Lanetta's Creations.

Thank you, Richard, for your service!

#5 Quilting Treasures, 2014 QOV Challenge

This one is a little different... I have no idea ~ and will never know ~ who will be the recipient of this Quilt of Valor! All I do know, the award will go to a deserving soul.

When I saw the announcement by HMQS "Home Machine Quilting Show for 2014" ~ I knew I wanted to participate! It wasn't for a prize, but for the end result - a QOV award. And, honestly, because the way fabric and batting costs have skyrocketed, I thought for $20 (the entry fee for the kit), it would give me a good head start on another QOV!

This is what I came up with ...

"A Song of Thanks"

Thank you for your service, whomever you are!
