For over two decades, Quilts of Valor has been wrapping veterans in quilts made by hand — more than 400,000 awarded so far. The need hasn't slowed, and more shops join the effort every year.
Like Sew has partnered with Quilts of Valor to put a roundup donation right in your card terminal. At checkout, customers round up to the nearest dollar. Nobody feels a few cents — but across a month of transactions, it adds up to real fabric and real quilts.
Whether your shop has been sewing for QoV for years or you're just getting started, your customers can now pitch in every time they buy.
Quilts of Valor heals thousands yearly because of one quilter’s dream
“The dream was as vivid as real life. I saw a young man sitting on the side of his bed in the middle of the night, hunched over. The permeating feeling was one of utter despair. I could see his war demons clustered around, dragging him down into an emotional gutter. Then, as if viewing a movie, I saw him in the next scene wrapped in a quilt. His whole demeanor changed from one of despair to one of hope and well-being. The quilt had made this dramatic change. The message of my dream was: Quilts = Healing.
“The model appeared simple: have a volunteer team who would donate their time and materials to make a quilt. One person would piece the top and the other would quilt it. I saw the name for this special quilt: it was Quilt of Valor, a QOV.”
