Quilt Together with Gratitude

11 hours ago3 min read

Welcome to our very first Quilt Together, with "Gratitude"!

Life can be chaotic sometimes, let fabric be your guide back to tranquility.

Come together to quilt, relax, and heal through each mindful stitch. More than a craft, quilting is a therapeutic art that weaves creativity, community, and expression into a vibrant tapestry.

I have chosen a very simple, yet beautiful Stamp quilt for our first quilting session.

There were SEW many to choose from, but this one just pulled me in.

We will name this quilt, "Gratitude". During the quilting process we will focus on being thankful.

I hope you will join us and make this quilt.

You will find the supplies and fabric requirements below.
