“Thimbles of Hope” is an open anthology of YOUR “thimbles” or stories, intended to memorialize the people and accounts of an American history of quilting. This is a place for you to share family histories, struggles, and miracles that have come from this beloved heritage art. It is a place for remembrances and a place for future quilters to be inspired to keep quilting. It is a place for reading and a place for writing. Thimbles can be small, short descriptions, longer essays, narratives, memories, or other stories that you want to share with those who may just need a thimble more of hope today. Please feel free to submit YOUR “thimbles” or stories of hope, stitched together, to warm hearts and preserve a past worth remembering.
