The Villager quilt is inspired by the importance of coming together to lend a helping hand, and of being able to lean on one another. The design reflects how “villagers” link arms and surround their community members in times of need. It is a call to remember our shared humanity and responsibility to care for our fellow villagers, in ways both big and small.

This versatile design, while looking complex, has simple, standard construction and is a quick sew.

10% of all sales of the Villager pattern through 9/24/23 will be donated to UNICEF to provide shelter, safe water, medical care, protection & psychosocial support to children and families affected by the earthquake in Morocco.
