Sauder Village was pleased to partner with the Quilts of Valor Foundation and Freedom Bound Quilts for a unique Special Exhibit and Quilt Awarding Ceremony for the annual Quilt Show held in Founders Hall.
Quilters from the area donated a finished patriotic themed quilt that was presented to service members or veterans in the area who have been touched by war. The ceremony took place on Tuesday, May 2 with 20 service people receiving their handmade quilt. Lacy Spurgeon is the Ohio Quilts of Valor representative that coordinated the effort along with Deb Ridgway, Sauder Village Quilt Show Director who curated the exhibit.
A Quilt of Valor is an award to service members and veterans who have been touched by war. It says, “thank you for your service and sacrifice in serving our nation.” Quilts of Valor reflect the best possible workmanship and use of quality materials, consistent with the Quilts of Valor Foundation’s core value of promoting excellence.
