Quilts of Honor
Since the beginning of Uniting US, Quilts of Honor and Uniting US have partnered to honor the service, pay tribute to the sacrifices, and highlight the individual, family, and community wellness that is possible through collaborative work efforts. Visit the Military Women's Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery museum to see six exceptionally beautiful QOH quilts on display and artwork from more than 100 other Uniting US artists!
Thanks Community Forklift
As Uniting US artist April Goodwin-Gill bonds with retired General Phyllis J Wilson, President of the Military Women's Memorial and Marilla Cushman, Vice President of Development, the beautiful pedestal built and donated by Community Forklift (CFL) in the background. The CFL team, lead by Nancy J. Meyer, provided four beautiful pedestals that would have cost more than $800 to support our Inspire, Empower, and Unite through the arts community building program. As always, CFL successfully diverted quality materials from the landfill and enabled prominent display of Uniting US 3D artworks.
