Welcome to the Quilting for Peace Campaign. We've started this campaign to celebrate the publication of the STC Craft book Quilting for Peace and to spread the word about how much good quilters can do around the world when they join together to show they care. We've pulled together a lot of information about joining an existing quilt group, starting a new one, and publicizing your efforts in our Quilting for Peace Campaign Kit. We've also created the widget at left, which we hope you'll post on your own website or blog to let others know that you support this effort. All you need to do is copy and paste the code below.

Finally, please leave a comment below for a chance to win a copy of Quilting for Peace for yourself! Let us know what you’re up to; whether you're part of a large, national  program or quietly quilting for someone in need in your community, we definitely want to hear about it. And if you haven’t started quilting for peace yet but are tempted, tell us what issues make you want to quilt for peace and where you hope to begin.

Contest ends Friday, Dec. 11, 2009. One winner will be chosen at random. Check to see if you’re the winner on Monday, Dec. 14^th!

Thank you and best wishes!
