Join the Hugs of Resilience: Survivor Quilt Workshop to create a quilted embrace that speaks volumes of love and support! Originally crafted for cancer survivors, this quilt quickly evolved into a symbol for survivors of all kinds – illness, military service, trauma, depression, and more. In the contemporary quilt style, the blocks spell SURVIVOR in Morse Code, creating a powerful hidden message for its recipient.

 

Wrap your survivor in a tangible expression of care, even when you cannot be there in person. As you stitch your hug, Leslie and Josie will guide you through creating multiple half-square triangles and organizing your quilt pieces to ensure your message shines through.

 

Do not have a survivor in your life? No worries! Take the class and donate your finished hug... or should we say quilt, to a local hospital, spreading resilience and warmth to the recipient. This is more than a class; it is a hands-on journey to create meaningful connections and finish your quilt with purpose. Join us and let your stitches speak volumes!
