Quilting for Peace

Quilting for Peace: Make the World a Better Place One Stitch at a Time by Katherine Bell; photographs by Allyson GowdyRetail: Bell, a writer and editor by day and quilter by night, says she knew she had to write this book upon realizing “how much tangible change quilters make not only in their own lives, but in their communities and in places they’ve never visited, among people they’ve never met.”
There are two major aspects to the book. First, it is a collection of more than 25 inspirational essays about people and organizations who use quilting as a way to comfort and provide for those in need. In addition, the book also includes 15 projects for quilters who would, themselves, like to become involved in a charitable effort.
