There’s a place at John Knox Village where creativity meets community and helps keep minds sharp. It’s the quilting room, a vibrant space filled with the rhythmic clatter of sewing machines and the quiet hum of focused residents. Here, the John Knox Village Quilting Group gathers, not just to craft stunning quilts, but to weave together a thread of stories and shared experiences.

For over 50 years, this group has been a cornerstone of the Village. Every Monday and Saturday morning the quilting room transforms into a haven for residents of all skill levels. From seasoned quilters to curious newcomers, the group welcomes anyone with a passion for crafting and connection.

More Than Just Beautiful Crafts: The Benefits of Quilting

Quilting offers a wealth of benefits, both mentally and socially.

Sharpens the Mind

Selecting fabrics, planning patterns, and stitching are all activities that engage the brain, promoting cognitive function and dexterity.

Social Connection

The group fosters a sense of belonging and community. Sharing stories, laughter, and a love of crafting creates lasting bonds.

Sense of Accomplishment

Completing a beautiful quilt brings immense satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.
