As a member of the Sarajevo Quilters, who submitted a quilt in the previous challenge, my thoughts go out to all of you and trust that time and the company of other women will help you as you move forward from such a dark place. I spent many months in the beautiful country of Bosnia and Hercegovina and I shed tears when we visited Srebrenica and walked in the cemetery. In my small way I was trying to show my respects to the families torn apart and the survivors who still need help after all this time. In the meantime the Sarajevo Quilters continue to make quilts to sell at the Holiday Bazaar in a few weeks, the funds supporting projects of the International Women's Club and the Helping Hands Organisation.

I live in Geneva (Divonne les bains actually) and would love to meet some quilters in the area. I am interested in connecting with you about a project I am developing to do psychosocial quilting groups for survivors of mass violence. You can watch the video (listed as my website) to see examples of some amazing narrative textiles. Thanks, Rachel You have made a beautiful quilt!

Just like our world is filled with so many different people and places. The object of the challenge and this quilt are so merged. I do wish I could see the exhibit but I am thankful that I can see the quilts here. Beautiful work Marianne. This is a fantastic quilt, filled with so many colors and thots.
