Quilts of Valour – Canada has an annual virtual event held on the first Friday in February. This year it is February 7, 2025. The sign-up is usually limited to about 500. Those who join this ZOOM group will be eligible to win prizes on the prize wheel. The event starts at 12 noon Eastern time and lasts about 3 hours. (If you don’t join the ZOOM group, you can watch the event on Facebook and YouTube, but you can’t win a prize). Usually, the QOVC President and a couple of veterans speak, and the new Hug block for the year might be revealed. For the past couple of years, Paul Leger has been the master of ceremonies. Often, a group of quilters will get together to watch the feed, sew, and make a day of it.
There are specific guidelines for making quilts for QOV. You can find them here. https://www.quiltsofvalour.ca/what-we-do
