"Quilting in the Spirit of The Games" is the banner for projects supported by the Quilter's Guild for Olympic Year 2012. The Quilter's Guild is supporting both A Gift of Quilts and Quilts4London.(Pennants). The Olympic Spirit - is a bringing together of nations and people from all over the world.  "One of the joys of patchwork and quilting is that it knows no boundaries. It is a truly international activity, and each country and culture brings something unique to the sewing table." (QGBI Handbook)
