MAKE A WELCOME bLANKET FOR A NEW NEIGHBOR

Everyone is welcome! All ages, skill levels, genders, ethnicities, histories, religions and geographies. If you care about welcoming our newest refugee neighbors in a hands-on collective artistic action, this is for you!

  1. Make a Welcome Blanket. The design guidelines are 40” X 40”, easy to care for, and it should hurt a little to give away. All mediums and methods are welcome! It’s both a great individual and group project. We have joyfully received knit, crochet, quilted, sewn, woven, felted Welcome Blankets. If you need help getting started, knit/crochet/quilt versions of the “Come Together” Pattern are here, and thousands of examples of Welcome Blankets are up on our online gallery.

  2. Share your story. With your gorgeous work, please include a story important to your family about immigration, migration, or relocation with words of welcome for the family who will receive your gift. Making a Welcome Blanket is an amazing way to build our collective American story and connect with one another. Here are some note templates to get you started.

  3. Upload your submission! This helps us out sooooo much!
