A Century of Quilts: America in Cloth celebrates the art of quilting by featuring selections from the best 100 American quilts of the 20th century, the stories behind their creation and the quilters as they work.

COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT
Quilt to Give Encore! 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. daily
Last year at Quilt Expo, 30 bed-size quilts were generously donated to the Quilt to Give community service project. Plus an additional 10 quilts were stitched and completed by Quilt Expo attendees. All of these quilts were sent to St. John’s Hospital in Joplin, Mo., where they were given to families and individuals who lost their homes due to the 2011 tornado. The need continues in many areas of our country.
This year Baby Lock will again sponsor Quilt go Give in the atrium. Here are three ways you can participate. 1—Plan a 1/2-hour or more of time to sit, sew and give. 2—Donate fabric in bright colors (1/4 yds. or more) — fabric coordinates are welcome. 3—Donate a new bed quilt.
Want to review the quilting process ahead of time, or see what type of fabrics to donate? Nancy Zieman has posted 10 easy steps for an attractive “Quilt to Give” design on her blog. Start quilting today! Read Nancy’s 2011 Appreciation Letter
