The inspiring creativity of 300 Jews, Palestinians, and others depicts their visions of Middle East peace and a shared future in 29 quilted panels, each about three feet square. Each of the beautiful suspended panels is displayed with its binder containing the names and personal statements of each quilt square maker. While most of the squares were made by men and women of all ages and backgrounds, some came from professional artists, including Wendy Lewington Coulter, Bill Horne, Barbara Heller, Linda Frimer and Persimmon Blackbridge. The Middle East Quilt Project has been warmly supported by both the Jewish and Arab communities in Vancouver. It is intended to encourage communicaton and dialogue between the two groups.
