A Stitch in Time: The St. Peter’s School Quilt

This fall, SPS received a remarkable gift: a hand-sewn quilt created in 1978 by a dedicated group of St. Peter’s families and friends. Each panel tells a story, celebrating iconic Philadelphia landmarks and life at SPS. From Penn’s Landing to the Italian Market, the quilt captures the vibrant spirit of our city and school community.
