Whether you’re new to Welcome Blanket or have made one of the over 8000 blankets and quilts so far, come join us! If you’re a maker, shop owner, vendor, or just someone who would like to know more about how Welcome Blanket works, this meetup is the place to ask questions, share ideas–and maybe come away with some new friends!

Come meet Welcome Blanket founder Jayna Zweiman, teacher/designer Mary Beth Kelso, and other like-minded people who want a tangible way to welcome people to our country.

This meetup is for:

• Shop owners
  • Host groups to build community and reach new customers
  • Offer classes to teach various blanket techniques
  • Make kits to clear out old stock
• Makers/Craftivists
  • Gather community for group projects
  • Contact potential exhibit hosts in your area
  • Make an awesome stashbusting blanket!
• Vendors
  • Partner with shops or makers
  • Connect with content creators to feature your products
  • Kit up discontinued stock

You’ll come away with information and inspiration to start or grow Welcome Blanket in your community. You can even start a blanket square at our meetup and drop it off at our booth during the show!
