Quilts of Valor Presentation

​​

Quilts of Valor Foundation began in 2003 with a dream, literally a dream. Founder Catherine Roberts’

son Nat was deployed in Iraq.

​

According to Catherine: 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 mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation is to cover service members and veterans touched

by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.
