WELCOME BLANKET AT QUILTCON!!!!!!

Welcome Blanket has been invited to have an exhibition and booth at Quiltcon 2027 in Atlanta, GA.

This is a different experience for us because we have 10 slots for the exhibition and an opportunity to demonstrate more abundance and diversity in the booth. Want to take part ? We are going to include as many works as we are able!!!

Everyone is welcome! All ages, skill levels, genders, ethnicities, histories, religions and geographies. If you care about welcoming our newest refugee neighbors in a hands-on collective artistic action, this is for you!

Make a Welcome Blanket!

Make a Welcome Blanket. The design guidelines are 40” X 40”, easy to care for, and it should hurt a little to give away. In general, all mediums and methods are welcome. For Quiltcon 2027, we are asking specifically for quilts / quilted work. This both a great individual and group project. (We have joyfully received knit, crochet, quilted, sewn, woven, felted Welcome Blankets, and you are always welcome to send your beautiful gift to us).

Share your story!

With your gorgeous work, please include a story important to your family about immigration, migration, or relocation with words of welcome for the family who will receive your gift. Making a Welcome Blanket is an amazing way to build our collective American story and connect with one another. Here are some note templates to get you started.
