I was contacted earlier this year by Cotton Cuts and asked to participate in making a raffle quilt that will support the Social Justice Sewing Academy (SJSA). The SJSA was founded in 2017 and works to empower people to use textile art for personal transformation, community building, and activism. I became familiar with SJSA through my volunteer efforts at QuiltCon in years past, and I am thrilled to be a part of this raffle quilt.
I will be completing Clue #5 in June, and I’m honored to be one of the 9 quilters collaborating to make a 72″ x 72″ quilt design featuring Tula Pink’s Graywork collection. None of us know what the finished quilt will look like. We’re all solving this mystery together, month by month, quilter by quilter.
Want to sew along with us? You can sew your own mystery quilt by purchasing at cottoncuts.com/get-started. Note that you can only join in until April 3rd, and if you use code SJSA at checkout and Cotton Cuts will make an additional donation to Social Justice Sewing Academy.
Follow the mystery as it unfolds:

What a great cause, I’ve not heard of this group. Have fun with your mystery!
I’ve never heard of that organization, but it sounds like a wonderful cause. Those fabrics are really pretty. Looking forward to seeing how everything goes together.
Tula Pink is the most astounding textile designer I know of.
Congrats on being one of the quilters participating. This is going to be a great quilt. I love all things Tula Pink and look forward to seeing how it comes together.
Sounds like a great project to be involved in.
This sounds so interesting. It will be cool to see how the mystery unveils!! Thanks for sharing
This is cool! You are drawing on a whole other skill set to puzzle this into place. Can’t wait to see what the final quilt is like!
