A Quilt of Valor is a handmade quilt that is awarded to a service member or veteran that has been touched by war.  The quilt is a thank you for their service and sacrifice in serving our nation.  Three quilts were given to local veterans at this years quilt show.  The quilts were presented by Vita Weehunt, owner of Quilters Hide Out in Early.  Quilters Hide Out is the local shop representing the Quilt of Valor Foundation.  The quilts are made by members of the Brownwood Quilters Guild as well as other local quilters and are a labor of love.  It is an honor to be able to bless our veterans in this way.

The veterans honored this year are Scott Anderson, Zachary Arduini, and Jodie Parsons.
