Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) Quilt Club
Since 2018, AAQB members have been participating in a quilt club which includes students, faculty, and visiting artists. Completed quilts are raffled for student scholarships, and for causes such as the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
Comfort Pillow Project
The African American Quilters of Baltimore has been making and donating comfort pillows to hospitals in the Baltimore area for many years, a practice started by Barbara Pietilla, our founder.
These 5 x 11 inch pillows are designed to provide comfort to men, women, and children who are recovering from cancer surgery. We give them to multiple Baltimore area locations.
