Community Quilting

Open to all quilters across New England! All weekend long, quilters and beginners alike can take part in creating quilt squares inspired by Revolutionary War themes. Yes, you can bring your machines and Revolutionary-era fabrics! These squares will be combined into a community quilt that tells a story through fabric. Materials will be provided, and guidance will be available—just come ready to sew and share.
