Peace Quilt 2008
Peace Quilt 2008 was a joint effort of the Hospitality Committee for UN Delegations and the Women for Peace Event that took place on March 11th, 2008 in the General Assembly Hall. From the first planning meeting in February, it took only one month to complete this project. The quilt was ready to hang behind the podium on the evening of the event. First we decided to use the logo for the event created by
Grazina Sen, wife of Ambassador Nirupam Sen,
Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations
We enlarged the design and projected it on the material, then embroidered the outline. More experienced members of the group planned the outer squares and made templates so that even the most beginning quilter could participate. We then set to work and everyone completed one, two and even three squares in time for Stina Ahlstrom-Lundberg to assemble the quilt with her speedy sewing machine.
The quilt was made by:
- Helene Yousfi  | Algeria
- Stina Ahlstrom-Lundberg  | Finland
- Anna Hannesson  | Iceland
- Tantri Anshor  | Indonesia
- Ratna Jatmiko  | Indonesia
- Luki  | Indonesia
