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: Arizona Historical Society - Arizona History Museum 949 E. 2nd Street, Tucson, AZ 85719 Registrar Jace Dostal jdostal@azhs.gov","DateDataF006b":"9/2/2022","QuiltHistF059":"Quilt was made by volunteers for the Migrant Quilt Project.","photocredit079a1":"Wilson Graham","DateF079":"2022-07-28","DateF079_era":"CE","ReposFile":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/45-46-33/2020.2021.jpg"],"Detail 1":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/45-46-33/2020.2021d1.jpg"],"Detail 2":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/45-46-33/2020.2021d2.jpg"],"Detail 3":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/45-46-33/2020.2021d3.jpg"],"verify":"yes","verifiedby":"Beth Donaldson","dateverified":"2022-09-07","dateverified_era":"CE","Pattern":"MIGRANT QUILT TUCSON SECTOR 2020-2021","Maker":"[\"HALL, GALE\"]","Date":"2000-2025","Contributing Institutions":"MATRIX, Center for Humane Arts, Letters and Social Sciences Online at Michigan State University","Publisher":"Quilt Index","Resource Type":"StillImage","project_id":"45","form_id":"46","owner":"7","created_at":"2022-09-07 18:56:06","updated_at":"2024-02-26 14:36:16"},"sort":["MIGRANT QUILT TUCSON SECTOR 2020-2021"]},{"_index":"main_quilt_index_quilt_1_25_","_type":"_doc","_id":"Sa5mWZEB8akQsUwexZsm","_score":null,"_source":{"kid":"45-46-32","InstNameF003":["Quilts and Human Rights Project at Michigan State University Museum","Arizona Quilt Documentation Project"],"InstProjNameF003a":"Quilts and Human Rights; Migrant Quilt Project; Arizona Historical Society - Arizona History Museum","InstInvContrNumF004":"Arizona Quilt Documentation #MAZ 22007","InstInvContrNumF004a":"TS 2020.1.20","essay":"This quilt was created to document 212 migrant deaths that were discovered in the Tucson Sector of the US Border Patrol during the 2019-2020 federal fiscal year.

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.

important to migrants (and we primarily had denim found in the desert to work with). 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.

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” (Spanish for “unknown”). 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 2014-2015","AltNameF011":"5 Patch","SubjQuiltF025":"Migrant, death, Arizona, family, day of dead, skull","OverallWidthF12a":"45\"","OverallLengthF012b":"47\"","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","PredomColorsF014":["Beige","Black","Blue","Brown","Cream","Gray","Green","Orange","Pink","Purple","Red","Teal","Yellow","White"],"OverallColorF14b":["Multicolor"],"LayFormatF024":"Block pattern","NumBlockF026":"42","SizeBlockF027":"5 x 5 inches","ArrangeBlockF028":"Straight","SpacingF029":["Side by side"],"NumBordersF033":"1 and 2","BordDescF034":"Pieced border around blocks, with additional border/banner at top","FiberTypesF035":["Cotton"],"FabricTypeF036":["Broadcloth","Other"],"FabPrintF037":["Conversation Prints","Floral","Mourning Prints","Novelty","Solid/plain"],"UniqueF037b":"Denim","ConstrucF038":["Machine Piecing"],"ConstrucF038b":["Machine Applique"],"UniqueF038h":"Machine embroidery","MatUsedF048":"No filling","QuiltTechF049":["Not quilted"],"MatUsedF044":["Cotton"],"FabStrucF045":["Plain weave"],"ConstrucBindF046":["Separate binding applied"],"BindWidthF047a":"1 – 1.75 in irregular","UniqueBindF045a":"Chinese coins","FabFiberTypesF040":["Cotton or polyester blend"],"DescBackF043":["Solid/plain"],"ColorBackingF040b":["Red"],"NumPiecesF042":"1","TypeInscripF019":["Date","Multiple Names"],"MethodInscripF021":["Embroidery","Other"],"LocInscripF022":["multiple locations"],"DateInscripF020a":"2014-2015 and April 2016","ContInscripF020":"Front: Tucson Sector 2014-2015 Back: Sharon K.

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: Arizona Historical Society - Arizona History Museum 949 E. 2nd Street, Tucson, AZ 85719 Registrar Jace Dostal jdostal@azhs.gov","DateDataF006b":"9/2/2022","QuiltHistF059":"Quilt was made by volunteers for the Migrant Quilt Project.","photocredit079a1":"Wilson Graham","DateF079":"2018-01-23","DateF079_era":"CE","ReposFile":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/45-46-29/2014.2015.jpg"],"Detail 1":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/45-46-29/2014.2015d1.jpg"],"Detail 2":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/45-46-29/2014.2015d2.jpg"],"Detail 3":["https://kora.quiltindex.org/files/45-46-29/2014.2015d3.jpg"],"verify":"yes","verifiedby":"Beth Donaldson","dateverified":"2022-09-07","dateverified_era":"CE","Pattern":"MIGRANT QUILT TUCSON SECTOR 2014-2015","Maker":"[\"KISSELBERG-PEAKE, SHARON\"]","Date":"2000-2025","Contributing Institutions":"MATRIX, Center for Humane Arts, Letters and Social Sciences Online at Michigan State University","Publisher":"Quilt Index","Resource Type":"StillImage","project_id":"45","form_id":"46","owner":"7","created_at":"2022-09-07 16:34:28","updated_at":"2024-02-26 14:36:16"},"sort":["MIGRANT QUILT TUCSON SECTOR 2014-2015"]},{"_index":"main_quilt_index_quilt_1_25_","_type":"_doc","_id":"O65mWZEB8akQsUwexZsm","_score":null,"_source":{"kid":"45-46-18","InstNameF003":["Quilts and Human Rights Project at Michigan State University Museum","Arizona Quilt Documentation Project"],"InstProjNameF003a":"Quilts and Human Rights; Migrant Quilt Project; Arizona Historical Society - Arizona History Museum","InstInvContrNumF004":"Arizona Quilt Documentation Project #MAZ170013","InstInvContrNumF004a":"TS 2020.1.14","essay":"My name is Dana Hollifield and I worked on this quilt with Debbie Maloney and Linda Knapp. We began the design process in September of 2015 and completed the project in November of 2015. 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.

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.","TypeObjF008":"Finished quilt","QuiltTitleF009":"Migrant Quilt: Tucson Sector 2010-2011","SubjQuiltF025":"Migrant deaths in the Southern Arizona deserts","OverallWidthF12a":"54.5\"","OverallLengthF012b":"61\"","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","PredomColorsF014":["Blue","Gold","Rust"],"OverallColorF14b":["Multicolor"],"LayFormatF024":"Nontraditional or art","FiberTypesF035":["Cotton"],"ConstrucF038":["Machine Piecing"],"ConstrucF038b":["Hand Applique"],"ConstrucF038g":["Attachments (beading, charms, buttons, etc)","Embroidery","Ink drawing"],"UniqueF038h":"Hand embroidered napkin attached at lower right.","EmbMatF039":["Beads attached","Charms attached","Cotton thread"],"UniqueF039a":"Paper flower, rosary, crucifixes, milagros.","MatUsedF048":"No filling","QuiltTechF049":["Hand quilting"],"DesignF052a":["Outline"],"ThrTypeF049a":"Cotton","ThrColorF049b":"Multiple","NumStitchedF050":"3","NumStitchF051":"4","KnotsF051b":"yes","MatUsedF044":["Cotton"],"FabStrucF045":["Plain weave"],"ConstrucBindF046":["Back turned to front","Hand sewn"],"FabFiberTypesF040":["Cotton"],"DescBackF043":["Same fabric used throughout","Hand sewn","Machine sewn","Print"],"ColorBackingF040b":["Beige","Black","Brown","Cream","Fuschia","Gold","Gray","Green","Orange","Red","Turquoise","White","Yellow"],"NumPiecesF042":"1","TypeInscripF019":["Signature","Date","Multiple Names","Message","Place"],"MethodInscripF021":["Embroidery","Ink"],"LocInscripF022":["multiple locations","on back"],"ContInscripF020":"Names of deceased migrants, \"Los Desconocidos,' \"Death in the Desert,\" \"Tucson Sector 2010-2011,\" \"These are the names of migrants whose remains were found this year in the Sonoran Desert near Tucson, Arizona,\" etc. Label on back.","OverCondF015":"Excellent/like new","FeaturesF053":"Quilt is made from discarded migrant blue jeans and embroidered cloth, combined with artist-contributed fabric and upholstery fabric.","DateBegunF023a":"2014","DateFinishF023b":"2014","DateQuiltF023":"2000-2025","ReasonsF060":["Art or personal expression","Memorial"],"PresUseF062":["Study or teaching aid"],"OthPresUseF062a":"As a memorial to migrants who died during the given year and made to raise consciousness about migrant deaths.","LocMadeF057a":"Green Valley","ProvCountyF057b":"Pima","ProvStateF057d":"Arizona (AZ)","ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"SourceMatF063":["Old clothes","Purchased new"],"TopSourceF064":["Original to maker"],"ExhibitListF067a":"November 2-10, 2014: All Souls Day exhibit, Mercado San Agustin, Tucson, Arizona \r\nJanuary 2015: Border Issues Fair, The Good Shepherd United Church of Christ, Sahuarita AZ \r\nDecember 5-6, 2015: Celebrating our Calll to Life and Mercy art exhibit, Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Tucson, Arizona January 2016: Border Issues Fair, The Good Shepherd United Church of Christ, Sahuarita AZ \r\n ","RelItemsF088a":"migrantquiltproject.org \r\n \r\nhttps://www.facebook.com/migrantquiltproject/ \r\n \r\nUncoverings 2016: The Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group.","QuiltTopF054":"Bayley, Cornelia","QuiltedByF055":"Bayley, Cornelia","GenderF098":["Female"],"CityF106a":"Green Valley","StateF107":"Arizona (AZ)","CountyF106":"Pima","LearnedToQuiltF117":["Self-Taught"],"WhenQuiltF118":["Age 11-19"],"WhyQuiltF119":["Pleasure","Therapy"],"SellQuiltF127":"no","OwnerNameF082a":"Arizona Historical Society -

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.

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.

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.

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. And grief at the manner of their dying and the clinical information provided on the lists. Dear God, we are better than this, why can't we as a free people solve this crisis? Judi Haines \r\n \r\nI love their stories and when I was embroidering the names I did, I felt such a deep sadness for these lives and what a bad place our world is in, but was glad to have had the opportunity to have a really small part in honoring these lives.","TypeObjF008":"Finished quilt","QuiltTitleF009":"Migrant Quilt: Tucson Sector 2000-2001","SubjQuiltF025":"Migrant deaths in the Arizona deserts","OverallWidthF12a":"50\"","OverallLengthF012b":"54\"","ShapeEdgeF013":"Straight","PredomColorsF014":["Black","Blue","Burgundy","Green","Orange","Red","Yellow"],"OverallColorF14b":["Multicolor"],"LayFormatF024":"Pictorial","NumBlockF026":"45","SizeBlockF027":"variable","ArrangeBlockF028":"Straight","SpacingF029":["Separated by floated or random sashing"],"NumBordersF033":"1","BordDescF034":"Desert pictorial painting across the top of the quilt.","FiberTypesF035":["Cotton"],"FabPrintF037":["Batiks","Floral","Geometric","Multiple scrap","Novelty","Solid/plain"],"UniqueF037b":"Guatemalan huipil","ConstrucF038":["Machine Piecing"],"ConstrucF038b":["Fusible Applique"],"ConstrucF038d":["Yo-yo"],"ConstrucF038g":["Attachments (beading, charms, buttons, etc)","Embroidery","Ink drawing","Painting","Photography/ photo transfer"],"EmbMatF039":["Beads attached","Buttons attached","Charms attached","Cotton thread","Metallic thread","Ribbon thread","Wool thread"],"UniqueF039a":"Pieces of jeans/pants: pocket, belt loop, patches.
