A 12-square quilt stitched by embroiderers in seven
states begins a cross-country journey this week to spur awareness
of a variety of causes, including Alzheimer’s, domestic violence, Special
Olympics, bullying, hunger and Cystic Fibrosis. The embroiderers created
quilt squares for a cause dear to their hearts, then performed and documented
their public service for Stitches®
magazine, published by the Advertising Specialty Institute® (ASI),
of Trevose, PA. The Stitches
Hopeful Hearts
Quilt
will be displayed in several communities where
quilters are based before returning to ASI headquarters in Bucks County for
permanent display. In the photo, Timothy M. Andrews, president and chief
executive officer of ASI, shows off the quilt. To learn more about the
embroiderers and their chosen causes and to watch video demos visit
