🧵 Thank you to everyone who joined us at our Quilting Workshop at Boston City Hall this past April!

During this special event—and throughout our guild gatherings—we hand-stitched quilt blocks using fabric generously donated by the family of Betty J. Clark, a lifelong quilter whose legacy lives on through our stitches.

🧶 The finished quilts—a large one and a baby quilt—reflect stories of life in Boston.

Today, we had the joy of delivering them to Rosie’s Place, the nation’s first women’s shelter and a vital multi-service community center offering emergency shelter, meals, and so much more.

💛 We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed their time, creativity, and care to this meaningful project.
