Spring is here, and our favorite colors are blooming — the beautiful, bright hues of your National Quilting Day quilts! 🧵✨

From coast to coast, our incredible quilters celebrated 34 years of National Quilting Day with soup luncheons, fellowship and plenty of stitching. Whether it's children designing patterns in Maryland or friends gathering to tie quilts in Pennsylvania, your compassion is faith in action, reminding our neighbors in crisis of God’s love. Every single stitch creates hope for someone who truly needs it.
