The holidays are busy — full of projects, plans, and long to-make lists. But today, Scout, we’re slowing down for something even more meaningful: a little kindness.

Your Kindness Challenge is simple: do something today that brightens someone’s day. It doesn’t have to be big. It doesn’t have to cost anything. Just a small act of warmth that ripples outward.

How It Works

Choose one (or more!) acts of kindness to complete from today’s printable challenge. You can go big, stay small, or make it totally your own. Just follow the golden rule of quilting and life: leave things cozier than you found them.

Scout-Approved Ideas

Here are a few of the acts included on your printable:

For Your Quilty Community

• Leave an encouraging comment on someone’s project post.
• Gift a fabric scrap bundle or extra notion to another Scout.
• Mail a postcard or mini quilt to a quilting friend “just because.”

For Your Local Circle

• Drop off handmade items (like potholders, quilts, or pillowcases) at a shelter or community center.
• Compliment someone’s handmade outfit or craft in public — it always makes a maker’s day!
• Offer to help a friend or neighbor mend something.

For Yourself

• Write yourself a note of appreciation for all the projects you’ve finished this year (and the ones you learned from).
• Take 15 minutes to sit under your favorite quilt with a warm drink and just breathe.

These small gestures are the thread that tie our creative community together.

Print it out, post it in your sewing space, and check off each act you complete this week. It’s your little reminder that kindness (like quilting) gets stronger stitch by stitch.

Scout Tip

Kindness multiplies when it’s handmade. The smallest gesture — a comment, a card, a stitched scrap — can mean everything to someone on the other end. So today, let’s make something intangible but deeply felt: a moment of connection.
