Quilt of Valor Presentation 12/28/13

I already blogged about this here  but now I have pictures! On December 28, 2013, I had the privilege of presenting Quilts of Valor To David and Peter. These two brothers both served in the Army during the Iraqi Freedom Campaign. A coworker of mine has been friends of this family for years and had asked me to make QOVs for the brothers. She arranged for us to meet at a restaurant and have lunch before the presentations. I believe there were about 12 family members present. My coworker’s husband is a photographer and he captured the most wonderful pictures that day.

If you look at their faces, you will understand why I do what I do.

    This is beautiful and so expressive, all involved have done great, great things magnified by the joining of all of you together in this presentation event and sharing the emotion with others. You’ve done a stupendous job, Katy! May you be blessed by His grace to continue this art that means so much to the recipients.

  4. What a great post, Katy, and YES, the looks on their faces are priceless and describe exactly why you do it.
