THE ARKANSAS REGIONAL ORGAN RECOVERY AGENCY INVITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MAKING OF THE NEXT
ARKANSAS DONOR FAMILY QUILT
We already have four Donor Family Quilts completed, and we are in the process of completing our fifth. Each one is dedicated to the memory of those who gave the Gift of Life. Each square incorporates pieces of memories into pieces of materials to commemorate the love and the life of your loved ones. The quilts are displayed statewide, and at media-related events to help spread the message of organ and tissue donation, one way that we keep alive the memory of all those who gave.
Requirements for all Quilt Squares:
– Squares should be cut into an at least a 10 X 10-inch square.
– Finished size for the quilt squares will be 8 X 8 inches. (DO NOT let any of your design touch or go outside this line, or it will not be seen.)
– Fabric should be 100% woven cotton (any color). Never use knits.
– When transferring photos to fabric, always use pre-washed, bleached, high quality muslin that has a
tight weave. This keeps the color and print very clear.
Be creative! You can join ARORA for one of our Quilt Square Workshops this fall, make your own at
home, or commission a quilt square from an experienced quilter of your choice.
