HAMily Quilt Project
Welcome to the #HAMily Quilt Project
During 2020, we hosted a virtual quilting bee. We asked you to use whatever craft supplies you had, make a square and illustrate your individual or family story, then scan or take a picture of your quilt square and email it to: [email protected]. Include a short (45 char.) description, if you like. During this period of social distancing, it was the perfect way to show that each of us are part of something bigger, and that community still exists, even six feet apart!
For more inspiration, check out the 144-year old quilt that inspired this project!
