Threads of Love Quilt
The "Threads of Love" memorial quilt was initiated in 2000 by Gift of Life Donor Program and its donor family volunteer group Hearts of Gold to honor and remember all those who have given the gift of life. After creating more than 95 quilts, we have decided to retire the Threads of Love quilts and are no longer accepting new squares. We are in the process of developing a new way for donor families to memorialize their loved one and will share that soon.
The “Threads of Love” Memorial Quilts have been a very special way for families to honor their loved ones. For many years, families were encouraged to create a quilt square in memory of their loved one to bring to our annual Life and Legacy Celebrations. While we are no longer accepting new quilt squares, the quilts will continue to be used for educational purposes and displayed in public venues throughout the region and on our website.
Explore the quilts to view the quilt squares designed and crafted by the loved ones of those who died and gave the gift of life. The actual quilts are also available for display at events, schools, hospitals, museums, libraries, and houses of worship throughout the region to promote organ and tissue donor awareness.
