Looking out the window early that morning I was looking forward to seeing the cathedral floors and to gain inspiration for a new quilt.

Others looked out windows that day as well…windows of airplanes, windows of the Trade Center, windows of emergency vehicles. We all watched the windows of our televisions, stunned and dazed.

Those first few days after the attacks the world was filled with visions of smoke, ash and rubble. Those visions along with flags defiantly showing through the gray were ever present in my mind. As events spiraled, even though we didn’t go to Italy, I was compelled to begin my quilt anyway. Studying a floor plan of St. Marks Cathedral, I selected one of the designs as the inspiration for the central circle and began sorting fabrics. I selected faded reds, whites and blues tinged with smoke and ash, but the occasional vibrant tones….representing our strength, courage and spirit…

As the drone of fighter planes broke the silence up above, I sorted fabrics and cut pieces and sewed….it was a sort of therapy…I visualized looking down from the top floors of the towers and the Window of the World restaurant at the Statue of Liberty standing proudly below. That star in the center and the flags and statues around the outermost circle represent Liberty’s crown.

My goal was to have at least one piece for each victim of the attacks. The fabric in the very center is for a friend who was in the plane that crashed into the Pentagon. The quilt contains 4,777 pieces and is hand pieced and hand quilted. The last stitch was taken on October 5, 2002”.¹ — Jinny Beyer

\r\nNegro Women's Association of Pickwick Village, Mississippi;
\r\nDesigner: Ruth Clement Bond;
\r\nPickwick Village, Mississippi;
\r\n1937","essay":"This quilt was made by members of the Negro Women’s Association of Pickwick Village in northeastern Mississippi and was given in the spring to 1937 to Maurice F. Seay, who was at that time Director of the educational program of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). In presenting the quilt to Dr. Seay, the president of the Association told the audience two things: the occasion for the gift and the symbolization of the quilt.
\r\n
\r\nFor the first time in the history of Mississippi, so far as she knew, the president explained, black people and white people had studied and played together in an integrated educational and recreational program built and supported by public money. TVA had complied with local custom by building a village for white employees on one side of a ridge and an identical village for black employees on the other. But custom had been quietly up-dated when one set of vocational classroom buildings, a library, and recreational facilities were built on top of the ridge. People of all ages from all the families, black and white, had come at all hours of the day and night to participate in this educational program. The gratitude of the Negro women for this lively, integrated program led them to recognize its director with their gift of this specially designed, handmade quilt.
\r\n
\r\nThe symbolism of the quilt centers around the hesitant black boy in the center. He is torn between the demanding hand of Uncle Sam on his shoulder telling him to work hard and obey the law and the beguiling guitar in his own hand tempting him to indulge in fun and frivolity. He stands against a background suggesting the African sun, the black of the African homeland, and the green vegetation which God has so generously provided for all people. As the president of the Negro Women’s Association said in closing her presentation, this quilt will remind all of us that the young black man is being forced today to make a most difficult decision.

It is profoundly fitting to honor these young garment workers through fabric and needlecraft. The quilt shares the collaborative ethos of the labor movement it celebrates: quilters, artists, and students have contributed their vision and skill. It includes portraits of many of the victims, most of which had previously been available only as tiny clippings from 100-year-old newspapers. We added the names of all the victims and images of the fire and its aftermath, both graphic and creatively interpreted, as well as text from beloved labor songs, contemporaneous ads and editorial cartoons, and meaningful quotations from a startling range of American voices. This quilt comments on one specific, avoidable tragedy and on the current global struggles to protect workers and offer them dignity and a living wage.”¹ — Robin Berson

As a mother, I designed this quilt to show my support and concern and to illustrate that Trayvon could be my son.

The anniversary of the passage of the amendment, together with the class, gave me the idea for the quilt. The blue stars are made of Courthouse Log Cabin blocks, representing the Constitution and the courts. The hands holding the ballots represent women of all races and ethnicities. Although I started the quilt in 1996, a move to Arizona created a delay and it was not finished until 2003. My purpose for the quilt was to encourage ALL women to vote.

Bonds received a grant from the Arts Council of Metropolitan Kansas City to facilitate two workshops during the spring of 2011 that engaged over a 100 individuals including students, staff, faculty, and community members; some were experienced quiltmakers, others had no experience. Bonds asked each participant to first write her/his own personal story about a woman’s issue and then interpret that story visually in their square. The stories reflect themes of feminism, empowerment, motherhood, domestic violence, healing, equity, and love.
\r\n
\r\nAs the quilt project grew, Bonds realized that this quilt could not be a static object, but one that should be allowed to grow. She decided not to sew the individual squares together, but rather she devised a system of hooks and fasteners, so that the quilt could be added to and reconfigured based on theme, color, or size. This way, the quilt could be displayed in multiple places and in multiple ways. Moreover, by creating a quilt in this semi-attached way, Bonds both conformed to the traditions of quilting, and also defied its conventions.
\r\n
\r\nThe Women’s Equity Quilt, now on display in several areas of the Women’s Center symbolizes a social movement still alive today through the collaborative efforts of people and organizations willing to continue the fight.¹

They get up each morning facing challenges that are incomprehensible to most of us. They need the basics of food, a warm, dry place to stay, shower — not just for themselves but for their children too. The "fabrics" used in this piece are bits from their daily lives — plastic bags, corrugated cardboard, used tarp, newspaper — cast-offs of society as are they. It uses the conventional squares and triangles of the world of the housed, my world. Is there beauty in this piece? I don't know. How can you fit together the homeless world of rejection and uncertainty with my world of comfort and security?”¹ — Jo Van Patten

They were helped by a local artist and AP Peace Fellow Kerry McBroom. Their quilt celebrates the Council’s Dosta! campaign to end discrimination against Roma, and each panel depicts a struggle that the Roma community faces from land rights to discrimination in education, from domestic violence and deportation to begging. The lively designs also show that Roma culture can thrive in adversity and serves as a tool to produce real social change for the Roma community.
\r\n
\r\nAfter completion of the quilt, it toured throughout Europe and the U.S. Eventually the mayor of Strasbourg was persuaded by the Council of Europe to provide the quilt artists with housing and a work permit in recognition of their fine work. Each of the quilters and their families were relocated to a site in Strasbourg, where they have housing, water, electricity, and other basic utilities. All of the children were enrolled at a local school, and the city government was seeking a way to reintegrate the Roma into commercial life by providing them with training and apprenticeships in French.¹

Each of the pieces are embroidered in purple cotton with the signature of a suffragette hunger-striker who, had ‘faced death without flinching’. Along the top is embroidered ‘Women’s Social and Political Union’ in Scottish Art Nouveau style along with the names of the suffragette leaders Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst and Annie Kenney. The banner was first carried in the ‘From Prison to Citizenship’ procession in June 1910 to symbolize the spirit of comradeship that gave suffragette prisoners the strength and courage to endure hunger strike and force feeding.¹

During the Viet Nam War, Hmong from Laos sided with the United States in fighting against the Laotian Army; subsequently Hmong became targets of genocide by the Laotian Army. In this story cloth, Hmong refugees are shown crossing the Mekong River from Laos to safety in Thailand while overhead helicopters and planes fire at them, killing people and setting housed on fire. Also depicted here is one Laotian soldier executing a blindfolded Hmong man, while another uses a rice pounder to torture another Hmong man. Story cloths like this one have been made by Hmong refugees and immigrants as tools to cope with the stress of memories of war, as well as to provide income.¹

They also attend the reburial of victims whose bodies were identified in the previous year. In 2007, the women of BOSFAM, the Bosnian women's group, began this Srebrenica Memorial Quilt, in commemoration of those who were killed. The quilt was unveiled at a memorial event on July 8, 2007 in St. Louis, home of the largest Bosnian population in the United States. The quilt currently contains 20 panels, each commemorating a victim and all hand woven by BOSFAM women who lost relatives in the massacre.

BOSFAM hopes to quadruple the size of the quilt by July 11, 2008. They hope that others who lost relatives in the massacre will commission panels, and that the quilt will help them to connect to others who also suffered. The weavers hope that as the quilt grows in size it will keep the memory of the massacre alive, in community after community, and encourage local debate and media coverag about the destructivenes of the 1992-1995 Bosnian war, and the resilience of survivors.

For information about how to commission a panel, go to http://advocacynet.org/page/bosniagiving. All money raised will cover the cost of the weaving. BOSFAM supports women from all ethnic groups who were affected by the war in Eastern Bosnia.","ReposFile":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/45-46-6/08.0015.jpg"],"zoom":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/45-46-6/08.0015-zoom.jpg"],"verify":"yes","verifiedby":"Beth Donaldson","dateverified":"2018-12-11","dateverified_era":"CE","Pattern":"SREBRENICA MEMORIAL","Maker":"[\"BOSFAM\"]","Date":"2000-2025","Contributing Institutions":"MATRIX: Center for Humane Arts, Letters and Social Sciences Online at Michigan State University; Michigan State University Museum","Publisher":"Quilt Index","Resource Type":"StillImage","function":"Image - large display (550 or more pixels)","file medium":"image","file format":"jpeg","DateObtainedF088c":"2/8/2008","ImageConF075a":"Quilt","ImageTypeF076":"Color","CopyRestF080c":"All rights reserved, Michigan State University Museum","legacy_kid":"6F-11F-13","project_id":"45","form_id":"46","owner":"1","created_at":"2020-04-26 04:54:28","updated_at":"2024-02-23 19:15:38"},"sort":["SREBRENICA MEMORIAL"]},{"_index":"main_quilt_index_quilt_1_25_","_type":"_doc","_id":"X65mWZEB8akQsUwexZsm","_score":null,"_source":{"kid":"45-46-54","InstNameF003":["Quilts and Human Rights"],"InstProjNameF003a":"Quilts and Human Rights; Black Disapora Quilt History Project","essay":"“Many years ago, I came upon an old print dated 1788. This image showed a slave ship and how African slaves were positioned side by side to maximize the human cargo, men, women and children packed in side-by-side like sardines in a tin. For me this print became a powerful, iconic image of the inhumanity of the slave trade, and as a young African American at the time, seeing this image was painful. The image has always stayed with me. A few years ago, I started to consider translating that printed image into my art form, an appliqued quilt. I wanted my quilt to have a visual narrative with many sub-themes: death, packed bodies side by side, helplessness, inhumanity that lasted 300 years, images of a new world to be built with slave labor, spiritual images that were part of the African slaves’ religion meeting Christianity, symbolized by a cross. I wanted to project a haunting feeling with all the eyes. I used fabric that had printed images of the New York City skyline from 1940's to symbolize “the new world.” I placed bodies in the ocean to show how slaves escaped from the ship only to face death in the ocean...some actually preferred death to being chained on a slave ship. Everyone who sees this quilt talks about the power of the narrative.”¹ — Michael Cummings

In order to help make sense of the tragedy, my nephew suggested writing the names of his friends on balloons and then releasing them with his classmates.

The withdrawal of Federal troops from the south once again left African American’s vulnerable to the jagged edges of racism. The pointed hoods of white-sheeted nightriders were symbols of terror and bloodshed and were an American form of masking at it’s worst.

This quilt is also part of an ongoing series of works that incorporate multiple hanging panels that were inspired by the Egungun masking ceremony of the Yoruba People of Africa. For many years, I have been fascinated by and inspired by the movement created by the layering of fabrics, colors, and the repetitive patterns used in the creation of those ceremonial costumes. The layering and use of overlapping panels is a device that I employ to distort the optical delineation between foreground and background, or in masking terms blurring the distinction between what is revealed and what is concealed.”¹ — Carole Harris

The work of the society included implementing needlecraft among the prisoners and donating sewing supplies to enable this craft.
\r\n
\r\nWhen the ship named Rajah left England in 1841 bound for Hobart, Tasmania, it carried 180 female prisoners. During its journey Kezia Hayter, a free passenger who had been sent by Elizabeth Fry to assist in the formation of the Tasmanian Ladies’ Society for the Reformation of Female Prisoners, is believed to have led the creation of the Rajah Quilt. Upon the ship’s arrival in Australia, the quilt was presented to Lady Jane Franklin, wife of Tasmania’s lieutenant governor.
\r\n
\r\nThe border of the quilt includes the stitched inscription, “To the ladies of the convict ship committee, this quilt worked by the convicts of the ship Rajah during their voyage to Van Dieman’s Land is presented as a testimony of the gratitude with which they remember their exertions for their welfare while in England and during their passage and also as a proof that they have not neglected the ladies kind admonitions of being industrious. June 1841.” ¹

Racism is partly about the color of one’s skin and is inflicted on people of many different races. Numerous colors used in the quilt fabrics seemed to be one way to express that.

Originally, I wanted to use the phrase,’Racism Comes in Many Colors,’ but I was told by friends that this statement implies that everyone is racist (which I believe to some extent we all are in this world) but leaves out the structural and power elements inherent in racism. So I changed the words: Racism Corrodes in Many Colors.”¹ — Susanne Clawson

In my dream, the images were from all over the world. They showed our needs for water and how we use it. We need water to drink (like the boy from India, representing Asia), we grow our food with water (like the farmer from the USA representing North America), we wash with water (like the Ecuadorian woman representing South America) and we share our planet with animals, who also need water (like the kangaroo from Australia).

I searched for these types of images and did many drawings to try to represent my dream as closely as possible.

Our fresh water is precious and limited. Over a billion people do not have easy access to potable water. This is a worldwide problem that affects us all and we must come to terms with it now for the future generations.”¹ — Hollis Chatelain

Her image was constructed with thirty thousand clothing labels stitched together over two years. The idea came from a simple observation. One day while shopping in a department store I noticed huge signs everywhere — Calvin Klein, Liz Claiborne, Kathy Lee and so on. They were all proper names. I'd recently met two garment workers and realized that by contrast, their identity was rarely thought of and often deliberately hidden. That anonymity could be undone by assembling a view of one worker using the well-known names on apparel she produced. The portrait is based on a photograph of a young textile worker in Bangladesh by Charles Kernaghan.”¹ — Therese Agnew

Chin was born in Alameda, California. In 1942 at the age of eighteen, she had just begun classes at San Jose State University when Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from their homes to internment camps. Bess, her mother, and her younger sister were sent to the camp in Heart Mountain, Wyoming. Eventually she moved back to California where she worked, married, and raised a family. She continued to take university courses but never finished. In 2010, at the age of 87, she and a small number of Japanese American students received an honorary degree by San Jose State University in a California Nisei Diploma Project to recognize the more than 2500 Japanese Americans who were denied their educational opportunities during the wartime hysteria.
\r\n
\r\nFor many years Chin has worked as a quilting instructor at the Japanese American Services of the East Bay Nutrition Center. In 1999, a community group asked her to engage her class in making a quilt to commemorate the internment experience but the recollections were a source of trauma and shame for her class members. As Chin shared with a reporter, "They didn't want to do it. It brought back memories. Japanese don't like to talk about anything that's bad about themselves… [But]"It turned out to be a good project," Chin said. "As we quilted the stories came out, and the tears and laughter. It was a really good healing process." The 12 squares depict a map of the camps, a guard tower, a special-occasion red kimono and broken dishes — reflecting the women who smashed their precious Japanese ceramics rather than sell them for a pittance at rushed sales before being herded onto trains bound for camp. Chin told the reporter that one woman told of watching her ill father being taken away on a stretcher. "He waved goodbye and told her to be a good girl. And she never saw him again," Chin said. Another told of leaving behind the family dog, and later hearing from a neighbor how the dog went to the train station every day to watch for their return.
\r\n
\r\nChin carries the quilt in the small suitcase she used years ago when she was deported to the internment camp and uses the quilt to talk with groups about this troubling period in U.S. history.¹

The quilt is made in the colors of the Palestinian flag and is embellished with traditional embroidered designs and lettering.

\r\n
\r\nThe eleven states featured in my quilt enacted Voter ID laws right before the 2012 Presidential election. My home state of Pennsylvania has the most restrictive, cumbersome ID law, potentially disenfranchising 100,000 voters just in my city of Philadelphia. Like the poll taxes and literacy tests following Reconstruction, Voter ID is intentional in its design to inhibit and discourage African Americans and other minorities from casting their votes at the ballot box.

Each of the 100 then-current senators were offered an opportunity to sleep beneath the quilt for a night and to record their impressions and their intentions in the accompanying log book. The name of each participating was embroidered beneath the square from their state. “Sixty-seven senators chose to take this opportunity to focus on how to make our world more peaceful for our children’s future. Many, many individuals were touched by the use of this humble medium and by the very ordinary nature of the makers, and inspired to start local cooperative quilt projects to effect social change. This quilt was featured in the Academy Award-nominated documentary, A Stitch for Time.” ¹²

\r\nSpring 2022: Church of the Apostles, Oro Valley, Arizona.","AddNotesF132":"What an honor and great responsibility it was to make this quilt. How could I help people who examine this quilt to see the humanity and lived lives of the people represented here who died in our desert? How could I make it more visceral and less cerebral? How could I honor their lives and bear witness to their deaths with dignity and respect? I wanted the quilt to say to the viewer, “Except for the accident of your birth, this could have been you.”

\r\nThese were some of the ideas I pondered after learning I would make this quilt. Then I received the clothing that the migrants had worn. I spent quite some time simply touching and exploring the clothing. Then I started to pay attention to as many different familiar details in the clothing as I could, and that is what guided me. I imagined that I had picked out the various pieces of clothing – or that they had somehow been gifted to me. I noticed the beautiful embroidery that decorated the sleeve of a shirt and imagined myself looking at such a design on my own clothing during my day and having it give me pleasure. I noticed the patch of membership to an organization sewn onto a shirt and thought of groups that I had belonged to and proudly displayed on my own clothing. I noticed the tags in the clothing indicating its manufacturer, its size, what it was made of and how to care for it. And then, one day, it was as if these were my own clothes.

\r\nI pictured myself putting my own arm into the sleeve of a top, snapping or buttoning a cuff in place around my wrist. I imagined pulling on a pair of jeans, zipping the zipper, and putting something important into my pockets. I visualized choosing a hat to protect my face from the sun and wrapping food in a manta for the journey. Suddenly, it was very personal. I wrote Desconocido/a (unknown) on a cross and stitched the cross through the clothing and onto the background desert-colored fabric. I wanted the section of clothing to be able to hang loose from the background of the quilt so that one could appreciate the owner’s interaction with that piece of clothing. I used a crisscross embroidery stitch to help adhere the clothing to the background, to represent everything that is naturally sharp and harmful in the desert that would assault the clothes and body on the dangerous journey.

\r\nThe centerpiece image of the quilt is of a person who had died sitting under the shade of a mesquite tree. It was designed by my friend Michelina Nicotera-Taxiera. Around this centerpiece I included the names on the crosses of the 95 people identified as dying in our desert. Beyond this central image are the 130 crosses of people who died nameless in the desert.

\r\nAs I sewed on the crosses and presented each name to God, I was suddenly aware of reading Maria’s name. My mom’s middle name was Marie. Another name I read was Rogelino. My dad’s name was Roger. As I sewed, through my tears I imaged that Maria and Rogelino were my parents. My parents loved me and my brother so much that if we were living in danger or poverty, they would have decided to leave to find a place of safety for us. And then realizing that they died in the desert, I understood Rogelino and Maria’s sacrifice of love and hope.

\r\nAs you examine this quilt, imagine that you are one of the people here – or that you know one of them. Make it personal. Maybe you were with them when they purchased that pair of jeans. Maybe you gave that shirt as a present to the person. Maybe you have a picture of the person wearing that hat in your photo album. How will we put an end to this graveyard growing in our backyard? The danger of the desert isn’t a big enough deterrence when your life is at stake. They are us, and we are them. How big are we willing to let this graveyard become?","QuiltTopF054":"Hall, Gale","OthPeopleF056":"Nicotera-Taxiera, Michelina","CityF106a":"Saddlebrooke","StateF107":"Arizona (AZ)","CountyF106":"Pinal","CountryF108":["United States"],"OwnerNameF082a":"Arizona Historical Society - Arizona History Museum","IdentPersonF006":["Quilt owner"],"SourceOtherF006a":"Terry Grzyb-Wysocki and Peggy Hazard","AcquiredF058":"Gift","ProvenanceF058a":"Donated to the collection by the Migrant Quilt Project.","OwnershipF082":"Public Museum, Library, or Institution","OwnerAddressF083":"949 E. 2nd Street","OwnerCityF084":"Tucson","OwnerCountyF085":"Pima","OwnerStateF086":"Arizona (AZ)","OwnerZipF087":"85719","OwnerCountryF086b":["United States"],"AccessF080":"Restricted","HolderF080a":"Contact:

In collaboration with Gerry Murano, I put the 137 names received from the Pima County Coroner’s Office, on a field of migrant denim taken from the desert, in a traditional quilting pattern, “Rail Fence.”

\r\nI added an actual rail fence, and below it put some of the reasons why so many of the migrants hazard such a dangerous journey. The words above the fence are some of the hopes that I imagine they have for a new life in America. Lastly, 137 butterflies symbolize each soul on their final journey, no longer hungry, scared and despairing. I think about these men and women frequently!

\r\nI want to thank Jody and Peggy so much for this wonderful project which tells the tale of these travelers throughout the country. It makes a difference when one can humanize the people. (Reilly Zoda)

\r\nI was honored to be asked to contribute to the Migrant Quilt Project. I believe it takes something remarkable and frightening for people to risk everything and leave their home country, so at the Postal History Foundation in Tucson, I located stamps from the homelands these migrants left and incorporated them as part of their stories. As I have had the privilege since March 2018, of helping serve many of the migrants who were fortunate and arrived safely at the Casa Alitas shelter, memorializing these lost ones holds a special meaning for me.

We each ripped seams of the jeans to separate the large and coin pockets, then cut squares from the jean legs and machine-stitched the pockets back on. The Guatemalan striped fabric was from a found piece and represents the many migrants traveling from Central America; we cut it to make a frame around the denim. The center piece was hand appliquéd from donated fabric to illustrate the desert and the mountains, while the cactus and hot red sun represent the grueling journey north.

\r\nWe were almost finished with the quilt when we learned about a dead hummingbird found in the pocket of a migrant. We learned that colibri, Spanish for “hummingbird,” is a symbol of safe passage, a messenger between the living and the dead and decided to add a hummingbird, hand painted by a member of our group. We purposely left the quilt’s edges frayed, as most found fabric is dirty and worn.

\r\nAt the corner of East 15th Street and Kino Blvd. in Tucson is a monumental equestrian statue of Fr. Eusebio Francisco Kino. He was the first European to come to the area. Fr. Kino is, in a sense, our first border crosser. The statue (by Julian Martinez) looms large above the intersection and for years, I confess, I have wanted to quilt bomb it with an immigration theme. I am not sure how that is possible without access to a cherry picker. (Not so subtle!) I made a transparent silhouette of the statue to incorporate into this piece. The quilt also features a Virgin of Guadalupe, a marijuana-themed bandanna, and 400 pesos (which I found secreted into the hems of two pairs of jeans

I made 5 patch squares surrounded by dark sky fabric to hold the many unknowns’ names. I created the binding, called Chinese coins, from all the fabric used. While I prepared the fabric for the quilt, I removed several pockets from the jeans and sand fell onto my cutting mat. It was surreal, and it was humbling just knowing that sand is a part of the journey some of these people took. Maybe they made it to America, maybe they didn’t. I hope they did. I love the way the quilt turned out and am very proud to have been asked to make it. I feel it is part of me as much as it is a part of them. I hope that I honored the unknowns in a way they would want to be honored. I’m pretty sure they were there with me on this journey.","QuiltTopF054":"Kisselberg-Peake, Sharon","CityF106a":"Holiday","StateF107":"Utah (UT)","CountyF106":"Salt Lake","CountryF108":["United States"],"OwnerNameF082a":"Arizona Historical Society - Arizona History Museum","SourceOtherF006a":"Joyce Harrison, Rebecca Aparicio, and Peggy Hazard","AcquiredF058":"Gift","ProvenanceF058a":"Donated to the collection by the Migrant Quilt Project.","OwnershipF082":"Public Museum, Library, or Institution","OwnerAddressF083":"949 E. 2nd Street","OwnerCityF084":"Tucson","OwnerCountyF085":"Pima","OwnerStateF086":"Arizona (AZ)","OwnerZipF087":"85719","OwnerCountryF086b":["United States"],"AccessF080":"Restricted","HolderF080a":"Contact:

Debbie’s goal was to hand deliver the quilt in January of 2016 during an annual church mission trip to the border.
\r\n
\r\nWe chose the Zia image which symbolizes many things. First and foremost, it is a sacred symbol. It was found on a pottery piece in the Zia Native American Pueblo during the 19th century. It represents the sun with groups of rays pointing in four directions. Four is the sacred number which symbolizes the Circle of Life, the four directions, the four times of day, the four stages of life, and the four seasons. Lastly, we chose it because it is also on the New Mexico state flag. The group consists of members of the United Church Santa Fe in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
\r\n
\r\nOnce the overall design was confirmed, we divided the quilt into four quadrants for each of us to work on simultaneously. The design process began with choosing the background fabric. We wanted to maintain a yellow and red color scheme. We found the perfect background fabric which had gradations of yellow, orange, and red at the local quilt store. It was then cut on the bias and pieced in a way to mimic the suns rays radiating from the center. The Zia symbol was done in a black fabric. The sun’s rays are represented by small rectangles of fabric cut from the pants that were provided. Debbie enlisted members of the church to hand write the names and dates provided to us, on these small rectangles. They were then sewn on the diagonal in each quadrant.
\r\n
\r\nThe side borders include a random display of different clothing items.
\r\n
\r\nThe bottom border is made from the fringe of a shawl. For me it was a very emotional project unlike the long arm quilting projects I complete for friends and clients. As I worked, I imagined the heat from the sun parching the skin of each individual, the pain and agony of crossing a barren desert without water, and ultimately perishing in an attempt to reach a place safe without fear. These individuals came during all four seasons, in all stages and ages of life, struggling night and day, in a fruitless attempt, unfortunately completing there abrupt circle of life much too early It is with faith, hope, prayers, and the work of our church that reigns hope for future immigrants – all immigrants – desiring freedom in these United States.","TypeObjF008":"Finished quilt","QuiltTitleF009":"Migrant Quilt: Tucson Sector 2013-2014","SubjQuiltF025":"Migrant deaths in the Arizona deserts","OverallWidthF12a":"72\"","OverallLengthF012b":"86\"","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","PredomColorsF014":["Beige","Black","Orange","Yellow","White"],"OverallColorF14b":["Multicolor"],"LayFormatF024":"Pictorial","NumBordersF033":"1","BordDescF034":"Black fabric on top and sides, black fringe on bottom","FiberTypesF035":["Cotton","Cotton or polyester blend","Other synthetic"],"FabPrintF037":["Print"],"UniqueF037b":"Denim from jeans","ConstrucF038":["Machine Piecing"],"ConstrucF038b":["Machine Applique","Fusible Applique"],"ConstrucF038g":["Attachments (beading, charms, buttons, etc)"],"UniqueF038h":"Pieces of migrant clothing: jeans pockets, collars and cuffs from shirts, bits of bandana; embroidered flowers from migrant cloths, pictures of desert critters and bits of lace, are sewn onto the borders.

Those with names, and those who have not been named, should be remembered and our quilts help to do that. I hope it raises awareness of the dangerous crossing these people attempt.

Not beautiful in and of themselves, the cotton knit and denim reflect the sacrifice and embody the remnants of deceased immigrants' dreams and hopes of a new life in 'El Norte.' By virtue of being born in the U.S., most Americans never need to sacrifice for freedom and opportunity and may misunderstand or feel threatened by those who strive to join them. My intent was to make the harrowing journey tangible and real for others, like me, who were blessed to be Americans by birth. Through my choice of fabric and subject matter I tried to bridge the gap between viewer and the deceased and have the viewer see through the migrants' eyes.","QuiltTopF054":"Greenfield, Verni","GenderF098":["Female"],"CountryF108":["United States"],"OwnerNameF082a":"Arizona Historical Society - Arizona History Museum","IdentPersonF006":["Author/researcher"],"SourceOtherF006a":"Curator of the Migrant Quilt Project","AcquiredF058":"Gift","ProvenanceF058a":"Donated to the collection by the Migrant Quilt Project.","OwnershipF082":"Public Museum, Library, or Institution","OwnerAddressF083":"949 E. 2nd St.","OwnerCityF084":"Tucson","OwnerCountyF085":"Pima","OwnerStateF086":"Arizona (AZ)","OwnerZipF087":"85719","OwnerCountryF086b":["United States"],"AccessF080":"Restricted","HolderF080a":"Contact:

Some of the materials used in the quilt include discarded migrant clothing collected in the Tucson Sector. Every known migrant death from that period is inscribed on the quilt either with the individuals’ names, if known, or the word “desconocido” or “desconocida” (Spanish for “unknown” in male and female word forms). The Migrant Quilt Project is grassroots, collaborative effort of artists, quiltmakers, and activists to express compassion for migrants who died in the Southern Arizona deserts on their way to create better lives for themselves and their families. Materials used in the quilts were collected at migrant layup sites used for rest and shelter on established trails in the Sonoran Desert. The Migrant Quilts carry the stories of those who died so that viewers of the quilts may understand the real, personal, and fatal results of inhumane immigration policies.","TypeObjF008":"Finished quilt","QuiltTitleF009":"Migrant Quilt: Tucson Sector 2006-2007","SubjQuiltF025":"Migrant, death, skull, Arizona, desert, stars, cactus","OverallWidthF12a":"60\"","OverallLengthF012b":"81\" + fringe","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","OtherShapeEdgeF013a":"Fringe on the bottom.","PredomColorsF014":["Beige","Black","Blue","Brown","Burgundy","Cream","Fuchsia","Gold","Gray","Green","Navy","Orange","Pink","Purple","Red","Rust","Teal","Turquoise","Yellow","White"],"OverallColorF14b":["Multicolor"],"OtherColorF014c":"Neon lime green","LayFormatF024":"Block pattern","NumBlockF026":"20","SizeBlockF027":"14.5\" x 14.5\"","ArrangeBlockF028":"Straight","SpacingF029":["Side by side"],"NumBordersF033":"1","BordDescF034":"Woven sash as border on top of quilt","FiberTypesF035":["Cotton","Cotton or polyester blend","Linen"],"FabricTypeF036":["Broadcloth","Handwoven","Other"],"FabPrintF037":["Batiks","Floral","Hand-dyed","Novelty","Solid/plain","Striped","Unknown"],"UniqueF037b":"Denim","ConstrucF038":["Machine Piecing"],"ConstrucF038b":["Machine Applique","Fusible Applique","Blanket, buttonhole, or other decorative applique stitch"],"ConstrucF038g":["Attachments (beading, charms, buttons, etc)","Embroidery","Painting"],"EmbMatF039":["Beads attached","Buttons attached","Charms attached","Cotton thread","Metallic thread","Ribbon thread","Synthetic thread","Other attachments"],"MatUsedF048":"No filling","QuiltTechF049":["Machine quilting"],"DesignF052a":["Meander/free motion","Outline","Stipple"],"DesignF052c":["Stipple"],"ThrTypeF049a":"cotton","ThrColorF049b":"mutli","ConstrucBindF046":["Unfinished/raw edge"],"FabFiberTypesF040":["Cotton"],"DescBackF043":["Same fabric used throughout","Solid/plain"],"ColorBackingF040b":["Purple"],"NumPiecesF042":"1","TypeInscripF019":["Date","Multiple Names","Message","Place"],"MethodInscripF021":["Attached label","Computer generated","Embroidery"],"DateInscripF020a":"Tucson Sector 06-07 and 1/2-0/18","ContInscripF020":"Front: a poem, a story, Tucson Sector 06-07, and 237 migrant names or the words desconocido/a.

In 2007 I decided to create the Migrant Quilt Project out of the abandoned clothing that migrants deliberately left behind. The border crossers’ personal items became the fabric for the quilts as they best represented the difficult journey they made in order to find a better life inside the United States. The clothing, often sun bleached and worn, created the backdrop in which all the quilts were made. Sometimes the quilts are embellished with rosaries, prayer cards, pesos, and milagros in order to illuminate the plight of their migration.

\r\nAs I worked to prevent the deaths in the desert, I enlisted quilters and textile artists to create quilts that would highlight the border deaths. Through the alchemy of found items we drew attention to the border crossers’ stories through quilting, an American folk tradition that often speaks to human rights issues.

\r\nOver the course of several years, I worked on the 2006-2007 quilt with others. The names we embroidered or painted onto jeans and shirts were a rallying cry for humane immigration reform. I found the work profoundly sad yet cathartic. I decorated the quilt with dignity for the deceased so that if family members of the decedents found their loved ones’ names on it, they would know that someone created a memorial for them and that their lives and deaths were not in vain.\r\nWhile the quilts carry a political message, they are first and foremost a living memorial to all those who died while pursuing the American Dream. It is my greatest hope that you find these quilts inspirational so that you may champion humane immigration reform.

I love to collect it and stitch quilts, bags and other objects from my stash of new and vintage cloth. But when the opportunity arose to collaborate with two other women to create a Migrant Quilt, I encountered fabric as something other than pretty designs and colors. To me, the discarded items of clothing from which we were to sew this unique quilt still contained vestiges of the spirits of the people who had worn them and later discarded them on their journeys north to what they hoped would be a better life in the United States. It was a humbling and emotionally-fraught experience to handle the shirts, jeans, bandanas and embroidered serviettes that were left behind, and then to deconstruct them and reconnect the pieces into the form of a quilt documenting the demise of fellow travelers whose dreams were cut short in the inhospitable deserts surrounding Tucson. I had never worked on such an evocative art object or been involved in such a meaningful act of consciousness-raising. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the Los Desconocidos project.

\r\nI found myself seeking solitude while working on our migrant quilt. We met as a group in a large room but drifted to separate tables, recording each name on cloth in silence. When working at home alone I played no music, listened to no radio. I felt these sounds deserved my attention. In the past I’ve been part of special quilts for specific people.

The quilt was made by Project Amor's staff members along with adults and children receiving services from the organization. Participants wrote migrants' names or 'Desconocido' on four-inch denim patches cut from blue jeans and used dimensional fabric pens to write the deceased migrants' names and painted often-whimsical motifs on the patches, such as hearts, flowers, stars, rosaries, crosses, and hand, and applied embellishments. The patches were glued onto a red canvas panel and covered the patches' raw edges with red braid. This textile creation is not a true quilt but is a quilt in spirit, assembled from fabric cut into squares and arranged in a grid format. It was inspired by earlier social justice quilts such as the NAMES Project quilt.","QuiltTopF054":"Project Amor Staff","OthPeopleF056":"Adults and children who received services from Project Amor","GenderF098":["Group"],"CityF106a":"Tucson","CountyF106":"Pima","OwnerNameF082a":"Arizona Historical Society - Arizona History Museum","IdentPersonF006":["Author/researcher"],"AcquiredF058":"Gift","ProvenanceF058a":"Donated to the collection by the Migrant Quilt Project.","OwnershipF082":"Public Museum, Library, or Institution","OwnerAddressF083":"949 E. 2nd St.","OwnerCityF084":"Tucson","OwnerCountyF085":"Pima","OwnerStateF086":"Arizona (AZ)","OwnerZipF087":"85719","OwnerCountryF086b":["United States"],"AccessF080":"Restricted","HolderF080a":"Contact:

I used the state of Arizona to map the deaths of known and unknown migrants whose locations were identified. The clustering of deaths show the effects of the border patrol practice of prevention through deterrence, which forces people to cross at the most dangerous parts of the desert. A patch included on this quilt says, “Dedicated to friends and family left behind. May this quilt honor lives of migrants and grief of their loved ones.”

And thanks to local Tucson artists Madelyn Tucker Pawlowski who contributed a barrel cactus cross stitch and Benjamin Franklin Pawlowski who contributed a saguaro maze.

Moving to Arizona in 2012, she became aware of the humanitarian crisis taking place in the Sonoran Desert because of the militarization of the border. 'Making these quilts, recording the names of those who died crossing the desert, using their clothing and other artifacts left in the desert by travelers, is very difficult, but also an honor. Those with names, and those who have not been named, should be remembered and our quilts help to do that. I hope it raises awareness of the dangerous crossing these people attempt. I use fabrics with Mexican themes, Mexican milagros, and other religious artifacts that have cultural origins in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and other places where these travelers started their perilous journey, leaving behind their families, full of hopes and dreams for their future.\r\n","QuiltTopF054":"Bayley, Cornelia","QuiltedByF055":"Bayley, Cornelia","GenderF098":["Female"],"CityF106a":"Green Valley","CountyF106":"Pima","CountryF108":["United States"],"LearnedToQuiltF117":["Self-Taught"],"WhenQuiltF118":["Age 11-19","Age 20-29"],"WhyQuiltF119":["Pleasure","Therapy"],"OtherF119a":"Artistic expression","OwnerNameF082a":"Arizona Historical Society - Arizona History Museum","IdentPersonF006":["Author/researcher"],"AcquiredF058":"Gift","ProvenanceF058a":"Donated to the collection by the Migrant Quilt Project.","OwnershipF082":"Public Museum, Library, or Institution","OwnerAddressF083":"949 E. 2nd St.","OwnerCityF084":"Tucson","OwnerCountyF085":"Pima","OwnerStateF086":"Arizona (AZ)","OwnerZipF087":"85719","OwnerCountryF086b":["United States"],"AccessF080":"Restricted","HolderF080a":"Contact:

To be given the privilege to participate in the designing and creating of this quilt has been moving. The needle, the thread, the fabric, the names; the quilt took on its own creation. The depth of meaning in this quilt and the opportunity to make it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Each name I embroidered, each milagro placed on a name, each rose made for the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe called me to mourn the loss of precious life. The loss of family, the pain for the Mothers, Fathers, brothers, sisters, daughters and sons, grandmas and grandpas. The loss for our human race. Betty Kersting
\r\n
\r\nWhen I first began working on the migrant quilt, I felt as if I knew a lot about the situation on the border. I had traveled a number of times to Nogales with Borderlinks and for the SOA Watch last year. I have Mexican friends who are undocumented. I knew the horrifying statistics. I am appalled that the President thinks that a wall is an effective deterrent for people who just want to make a better life for themselves and for their families. But what I didn't expect to happen was the painful flood of emotions I felt as I embroidered each name while praying for their families and thinking of the difficult deaths suffered. I hope that people viewing the quilt will become informed about the border crossings, and feel the need to become involved in a positive action that will prevent more deaths. Judy Crawford
\r\n
\r\nIt was my heartfelt honor to participate in the embroidery and embellishment of this beautiful quilt. I was deeply touched as I stitched each name and I will cherish this experience. LuAnn Watkins
\r\n
\r\nIt has been my great honor to contribute in a small way to this memorial quilt. My part was limited to some embroidery of names, fabric, and small embellishments. The tragedy of these precious lives lost in the desert is overwhelming. All that remains are bits and pieces ad memories among their loved ones. Most of my names were "Desconodidos/as," unknowns. At least their lives are documented in a small and very heartfelt way by this beautiful quilt. Liz Hinds
\r\n
\r\nI am an artist and a friend of Betty Kersting. We were talking and she mentioned this quilt project. This quilt was quite far along when I got involved but I realized I could add the desert landscape at the top of the quilt. Betty gave me fabric from an off-white pair of jeans discarded in the desert and showed me photographs of the region. I painted with acrylics on the jean material. Love was in every brushstroke. I am honored to add to this quilt. We are all One. Nancy Dean Kreger
\r\n
\r\nMy thoughts and feelings were of horror, at the strife that engulfs these people and forced them to take a huge risk through an unforgiving landscape.

Those who joined Wainwright in this endeavor included those who were only yards away from the blast and the mother of an officer who was shot during the pursuit of the bombers. According to Wainwright, two trauma surgeons who worked on the quilt “did all these stitches and then tied them off just like they do in surgery.”.¹ Wainwright has worked on over 60 community quilts, including one called Mending Baghdad, following the 2003 invasion by the U.S. of Iraq

This textile and others made as part of this project mark a slight departure from their regular work but was intended to help them develop new product to attract new customers. The artists were each asked to think about some pivotal experience they had in recent years, and to express this experience in narrative form using embroidery, applique, and beadwork. The first set of these narrative textiles were shown at the African Art Center and at the Durban Art Gallery. Each textile carries the name of the artist and, attached on paper, a very brief statement (in Zulu and English) of the scene or incident the woman has depicted. The narrative for this piece reads, “There is something I shall not forget, the enemies were here at home to kill us.”¹ — Lobolile Ximba
