Quilts of Valor Foundation

Blue Star Mom Catherine Roberts began the Quilts of Valor Foundation (QOVF) from her
sewing room in Seaford, Delaware in 2003. Her son Nathanael’s year-long deployment to Iraq provided the initial inspiration, and her desire to see that returning warriors were welcomed home with the love and gratitude they deserved, provided the rest.

QOVF has become a national grassroots community service effort, connecting the home-front with wounded combat warriors and veterans. The mission of QOVF is to cover servicemembers and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor. Visit www.qovf.org to see how you can get involved to help support your country.

Northcott proudly supports the QOVF by creating patriotic collections exclusively for the USA, donating fabric and printing brochures.

Quilts of Valour - Canada Society

QOV - Canada Society organizes and facilitates the making and distribution of quilts for
injured Canadian soldiers and military personnel. Their mission is to ensure that they are
recognized for their bravery and commitment of their true patriotism to Canada. They give
this support through the presentation of quilts of comfort.
