About Mid-Missouri Quilts of Valor
Quilting to Honor & Comfort
Blue Star mom Catherine Roberts, began the Quilts of Valor
Foundation (QOVF) from her sewing room in Seaford, Delaware. 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.
The mission of the QOV Foundation is to cover ALL service members and veterans touched by war with wartime quilts called Quilts of Valor (QOVs). QOV’s are stitched with love, prayers and healing thoughts. Our troops who have been touched by war are awarded this tangible token of appreciation that unequivocally says, “Thank you for your service, sacrifice and valor!”
Just how much of an impact has the Quilts of Valor Foundation made? As of June 1, 2026, there have been over 447,658 quilts awarded to service members/veterans!
Our local group “Mid-Missouri Quilts of Valor” was started in 2009 and is made up of all volunteers. We provide quilts to service men and women and veterans in the Mid-Missouri area. Our quilts are pieced and quilted locally with every effort made to make the presentation a very personal event for the Veteran and his or her family. In 2025, we awarded 162 Quilts of Valor.
We meet at 10:30 on the first Wednesday of every month at Satin Stitches Sewing and Embroidery, 705D Vandiver Dr, Columbia, MO. Our sewing days are open to everyone at any sewing/quilting level for the length of time they can provide.
Donations are always welcome to help continue providing quilts to Mid-Missouri Veterans and Service Members. You can make a cash donation or visit our Registry at Walmart.com to donate supplies that we need on a regular basis. We are a 501 C (3) organization and all donations are tax-deductible.
This Foundation is not about politics, it is about people.
