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.
