American Hero Quilts

American Hero Quilts were born out of the love and compassion of one determined Washington State woman. Her dreams is that each of our injured troops returning home from war through Madigan Army Medical Hospital and other military hospitals, receive a "hug" of appreciation. These "hugs" are exceptional patriotic, heirloom quality quilts. Each is unique, created by many loving hands.

Needle Arts Guild Comforters group has some of those loving hands that are making quilts for the American Heros.

You can help our loving hands by donating 100% cotton fabric to our Needle Arts Guild Comforters Satellite.
