Grandparents Day Celebration: Join Us in Creating The Grandest Grandparent Legacy Quilt!
This year, Schlegel Villages is excited to celebrate Grandparents Day in a unique and heartfelt way! We invite all grandchildren to participate in our Grandest Grandparent Legacy Quilt Project by creating a personalized quilt square that showcases why their grandparent is the grandest.
We will provide 6x6 square materials at all our Villages and online for order if you are not close to a Village. Grandchildren are encouraged to decorate their squares, leaving a 1/4 inch border on each side, and then send them back or drop them off at a Village. Along with their creative quilt square, participants should also submit a written piece explaining why their grandparent is the grandest and holds a special place in their hearts.
To make this project even more special, some of our Villages will host Grandparents Day programs on or around the second Sunday of September, where grandchildren and grandparents can come together to work on their quilt squares. This is a wonderful opportunity to bond, share stories, and create lasting memories.
Once all the quilt squares are collected by October 31st, our team will connect them into a beautiful collective quilt. We will collaborate with skilled Village quilters to finish the quilt, which will then be proudly displayed at Schlegel Villages.
But the celebration doesn’t stop there! Each quilt square and accompanying story will be turned into a digital display for our SVTVs (Our Village TVs), social media and a special website gallery.
Join us in this touching tribute to our beloved grandparents. Let’s celebrate their legacy and create a quilt filled with love, stories, and creativity!
