American Heroes aims to provide every wounded soldier a quilt that will provide comfort for them through their entire healing journey, and accompanies them home.

Based on Vashon Island, the organization serves the Madigan army hospital and also the hospital in Afghanistan, through generous shipping donations.  Visit their website americanheroquilts.com for more information.

The American Hero quilt group meets the third Thursday of the month at Esther's Fabrics.  Open to all.  You can also pick up American Hero blocks at Esther's to make at home.

Thanks to the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art for the use of their classroom for this Sew In
