Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2025 Community Quilt Project
Did you know quilting and art have long been integral to the movement to end sexual and domestic violence? Art and activism are linked, and creating art can be therapeutic for those who have experienced domestic violence.
For Domestic Violence Awareness Month in 2025, Fairfax County Domestic and Sexual Violence Services is collecting quilt blocks created by the community with the theme of “Crafting Healthy Relationships.” The finished quilt will be displayed in Fairfax County Public Libraries in 2026.
- Get together with your organization, club, or just a few friends and talk about what a healthy relationship means to you.
- Using the prompt and instructions below, create your quilt blocks.
- Take photos and tag them with #CraftingHealthyRelationships #DVAM2025.
- Send in your blocks to the address below by Friday, Nov. 7, 2025.
