ACTIVITIES

Mobile Hope

The COVID Memorial HOPE Quilt thanks Bernina for their unwavering support since 2020. Their contributions have been invaluable in supporting our mission to create a lasting tribute to frontline workers and those impacted by the pandemic, including the donation of two Bernette machines in 2023 for our partnership with Mobile Hope.

We are thrilled that two of our most unique COVID-19 HOPE Quilts have been selected for the Asheville Quilt Show. One of them, Quilt 18, was created by a group of seven deaf or hard-of-hearing quilters who learned to communicate via sign language and Zoom to craft blocks honoring unsung frontline heroes in Texas. These blocks were then beautifully assembled into a large, striking quilt by renowned long-arm quilter Susie Wong from Sugar Land.

 

Also on display is Quilt 22, which was pieced together by Leola Seville of Cumberland, Maryland, and expertly long-arm quilted by Holly Schewe, who is hearing impaired.
