NQA NQD Project

That’s a tongue-twister, isnt’ it? The response to the 2006 NQD (National Quilting Day) “Happy Birth Day, Baby!” project for NQA (National Quilting Assocation) was so positive they are doing it again for 2007. All quilters, individuals and groups are welcome to join the fun. To celebrate the NQD’s “birthday,” all you need to do is make a baby quilt to donate to your local hospital for the first baby born on National Quilting Day (17 March). Wouldn’t it be fun to see hundreds of new babies across the country snuggled in their special “Birth Day” quilts?

The guidelines for the “Happy Birth Day, Baby!” project are simple. You will need to check with your local hospital to work out details - we found that most facilities were thrilled to participate, but please make arrangements with them first. Last year some of the quilts were presented in person, with photos of babies and quiltmakers. If you submit photos to NQD, they will need a signed release from everyone in the picture.
