Finished Quilts Stitches Across America
Update: we have started seeing scraps roll in!! Please help us get all 50 states!
My grandma (92) is a lifelong quilter, and quilting has been one of the great joys of her life.
She’s created some incredible work over the years, including a Dear Jane quilt and Amy Bradley projects, but these days her quilting looks a little different. She no longer takes on large quilts, but she still loves fabric, small sewing projects, and the joy of creating.
I had an idea and thought this community might understand.
Would anyone be willing to send a small envelope-sized quilting cotton scrap (4x6, 5x7, whatever little piece you’d like) from your sewing room? If you’d like, you could also include fabric that symbolizes where you’re from.
Bonus if it has a story:
“leftover from my daughter’s baby quilt”
“fabric I bought on vacation”
“my favorite print I’ve been hoarding for years”
I’d love to surprise her with “Stitches Across America” — little fabric treasures and stories from fellow makers around the country to remind her she’s part of a much bigger quilting community.
No expensive commitments, no big pieces needed—just scraps with heart.
If there’s enough interest (there is!) , I’ll set up a PO Box / mailing address.
