With generous help from Springs Creative Products Group and Carolina Creative Products, over 150 beautiful handmade quilts arrived in South Africa this Fall! Love Quilt Project Board Member, Deborah Droke, and our longtime South Africa-based volunteer, Diana Higgs, wrapped children in the warmth and love of these quilts in two locations – Leamogetswe Safety Home in a township outside Pretoria and Johannesburg’s Nazareth House.

Bisa Butler’s intricate portrait quilts are truly founded on love. A love of youth, family, community, and black history. She brings to life the famous and the anonymous by translating black & white photographs into dazzling, colorful applique art pieces.

We are in search of an Office Assistant to help with administrative tasks for The Love Quilt Project. This paid position is for 10-15 hours per week for someone with good organizational and tech savvy skills. Candidates must live near Arlington, VA but can work partially from home

If there’s a couple that epitomizes the love of quilting, it would have to be Stephen Seiphert and Liz Schwartz. No wonder they became big supporters of The Love Quilt Project.

The two primary goals of the Love Quilt Project are to provide emotional support through the gift of a Love Quilt to orphaned and vulnerable South African and American children, many of them affected by HIV/AIDS, and to provide access to quality education and support for each South African child who receives a quilt.

Michelle Daly, General Manager of the St. Francis Outreach Trust writes of the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa and the challenges to educate the children in the foster homes that The Love Quilt Project supports.
