The Fabric of Peace is an on-going project begun in 2008. Women artists from around the world are creating fabric swatches which will be assembled to create a quilt. The quilt will be displayed in the United States and abroad. The Fabric of Peace is a positive statement by women, connecting our shared interest in keeping peace in the world. |
