// e .ers make Quilts of Valour Page 2 of 3 Afghanistan. Since then, 3,756 have been delivered. Mrs. Easton told the Salem group that soldiers are now experiencing post traumatic stress disorders. And even though we have only a small contingent in Afghanistan there are soldiers injured in training and in missions around the world. Some of those who receive quilts write to tell how much they were appreciated. Mrs. Easton shared some of their comments â€" " T will cherish it forever." "I have an avalanche of emotional gratitude." One soldier said he wasn‘t going to use it. He was mounting it in a frame and hanging it on his wall. For this project, QoV is using cotton quilt fabric supplied from Northcott Studio. The red, white and blue material carries various Canadian motifs. QoV also accepts quilts as long as they are 100% cotton and fall within prescribed sizes. The names of the makers are included in all the quilts. In their mission statement QoV states, "Quilts are one small way of showing our injured military service members, men and women, their sacrifices are recognized by Canadians who value freedom and security in our world." magr & manzy eapaxemy Salem e | Tess Oig d Taie e S T Rep t s zo+ af en %-_fifi'.‘;" v’fi»fl?flufi%fl%fiéufifl#%@fifl“n Valley Lockes. +C a * --"-‘-"‘t-"'é‘;‘ffigflifigfiy{. 12 uon °BC ate i lea n Quilters N T cJ l se Aidieâ€" waigely /o 1/ *'!:ri.mféfit"n'i*"flfflfifi%fi . o. | â€" P 8 hn m n e Po aip C 94: mm amssalae mcet ‘g & >“-‘ i 9e ',,‘:;l & ‘”\c o J ME Wl n Efl;'::‘-“-’('? %-.H.' every h us ce OA es ns rmighe â€" O <oam enfi 7. neegecr a y es o n og. &ATt Te ts Pasog _ 2sm.g [ss > hssy ~ V O .bV -c@fi}‘i»"-‘fl*‘ k 1 C [ Eo & L. k) [%382z8 B (pe : Fcse 1 â€" f-'-\xrr "‘i ho 'vaTL,‘,‘ ve ”?#"l e | .
