SHARE YOUR PASSION FOR Quilting!
As you know, quilting is far more than a hobby. It's a way of life! Life is busy and free time can be hard to come by, but we hope to offer a creative way to get you quilting alongside friends!
With the National Quilters Circle Medallion Quilt Block Challenge, our goal is to help you engage your passion, while connecting you with quilting friends! In this challenge, we will be creating the beautiful Medallion quilt, designed by the talented Toby Lischko and Ashley Hough.
Quilting is better when you're sharing the experience with friends! Be sure to share this challenge with your fellow quilters by clicking the share buttons below!

Ashley has sewn for years. Her mother taught her at a very young age. When first starting out, she stuck to mastering commercial patterns before venturing into creating her own. Her patterns have been featured in Sew News, Sew It All, and she has even been on Sew It All TV.
Quilting is somewhat new to Ashley, but she dove in head first – coming up with an original design for her first quilt that included curved seams and hand appliqué! She was even lucky enough to have it featured in one of Quilty’s “This is My Quilt” episodes.
Ashley loves all things crafty, from sewing to knitting, crochet to quilting, and everything in between. When she isn’t working on a new project or learning a different technique she loves teaching her passion to others.

HOW TO DONATE TO YOUR CHAPTER
The easiest way to donate your quilts is to find your local Project Linus chapter. Many of their chapters have provided listings on their website with drop-off-sites. Visit their website to find the nearest chapter in your state!
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that Project Linus has stipulations for donations: “Coordinators must be non-smokers and live and store blankets in a smoke free environment. Project Linus blankets must be of excellent quality and free from contaminants. Special care should be taken to ensure that blankets are free of smoky smells or any chemicals which could cause problems for a child. Ensure that blankets are free of pet or animal hair. Hospitals will not accept these blankets, and they will most likely be discarded. Recent studies show that laundering these blankets does not remove contamination, and in some cases can even make it worse. Always check blankets carefully for pins, and remove any embellishments such as buttons that could be swallowed.”
