SVAN Quilts

This page is dedicated to all our quilters, past and present, who produced wonderful works of art in fabric to support our organization. All work was done by hand and took several months to complete. Each volunteer worked on one or two panels of a 20 panel quilt, with other volunteers sewing the panels together, adding borders and backing.

If you have photographs or information you could share regarding any of the SVAN Quilts made over the years, please contact SVAN. We would appreciate being able to add the images and information to our quilt archives!
