Saturday, March 16, 2024 is National Quilting Day.
At Lutheran World Relief, we have a LOT to celebrate!
For more than 75 years, compassionate people just like you have put their faith into action and made quilts for people in need around the world. And not just a few quilts — nearly 28 MILLION QUILTS!
These gifts of love make life brighter, softer, and a bit more comfortable for our neighbors around the world struggling with chronic poverty, illness, natural disaster and conflict. THANK YOU.
Host your own National Quilting Day (NQD) event to celebrate more than 75 years of comforting the world with quilts! Here are some tips for organizing a quilting celebration in your community.
“Those who sleep under a quilt, sleep under a blanket of love.”
