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.

#4 - Welcome Home, Blair!

My sister requested a Quilt of Valor for her brother-in-law, a Vietnam Veteran.

I learned he's a Civil War enthusiast, so the colors in his quilt reflects the era. It was left up to me for the pattern/overall design. I selected the half log cabin on point, with a deep red center - the hearth/heart of the home.

Although I was not at the presentation ceremony, I heard he was overwhelmed when receiving the award.




Thank you for your service, Sir!

And, Welcome Home!

#3 - Thank You, Lemar!

UPDATE! Presented on Good Friday, April 18, 2014!!

Although, to date, this quilt has not been presented - it will be soon! After serving 12 plus years in the Army, the Iraqi Veteran recipient, so deserves this award! I wish I could be a fly on the wall during the presentation!







A successful surprise!




Again, Thank You for your service, Sir!

#2 - Welcome Home, Jimmy

Another, belated, Welcome Home to a Vietnam Veteran! My cousin's husband, Jimmy, and his brother-in-law, Steve, both received their Quilt of Valor during the same presentation ceremony. This was a very special time for our family gathering....





#1 - Welcome Home, Steve!

I began creating Quilts of Valor in August, 2013, in the foundation's 10th year. My grateful journey of thanks and a belated "Welcome Home" started with a quilt for my cousin, a Vietnam Veteran.







Thank you!
Welcome home, Steve!
