Bluffton Scrap Artist Quilters is a club for quilters at any level or ability, and welcomes anyone interested in helping create baby quilts for local foster kids and full size quilts for local veterans.
In July 2022, the club donated 40 baby quilts to Allen County Children’s Services. These quilts will be used in "love luggage” which are special backpacks filled with gender-specific toiletries, toys, cuddly, a quilt or blanket, and other little things to give to kids as they are going into foster care.
