Quilt Scouts, grab your sleeping bags (and sewing machines)—we’re going back to camp! This year, Quilt Camp 2025 is happening virtually, and trust us… it’s going to be just as magical.

  Back by popular demand! We’re bringing back this fun, giftable project for all the new Scouts who missed it last year. Kits available!

Cabin Vibes

You’ll be assigned to a virtual “cabin” (Zoom breakout room) where you’ll hang out, sew, and bond with your fellow Scouts. Expect plenty of cozy convo, sewing show-and-tells, and maybe even some friendly games + prizes sprinkled throughout the weekend.
