Community Quilting Bee
In the tradition of African American ancestry, a community quilt will be created. The Needles and Threads Quilters Guild members will assist participants in creating a block that represents their giving. All materials needed to create a block will be provided. Blocks become the property of Chicago African Americans in Philanthropy (CAAIP). CAAIP reserves the right to include and/or display your block in the final philanthropic quilt.
