From Sondra:
While perusing at Borders, I saw Katherine Bell’s book – Quilting For
Peace and I immediately got a refill for my coffee and sat down and dove
into it.
It is exceptional…from the layout to the contents to the
physicality of the book itself. Quilting for Peace belongs in everyone’s
personal library and it now has a special place in mine.
The chapters cover the following: community quilting, wartime quilting,
quilting for kids and quilting to change the world. As stated on the
cover, it contains more than 25 inspiring essays and 15 charity projects
with clear instructions. You can’t run out of ideas because it is packed
full of ideas, life stories, quilt resources in a variety of areas,
including quilts for pet shelters (cage comforters), sleeping bags for
people who are homeless, quilts for solders, infants and many more people
who have needs. Contacts and websites are provided. There is information
about places where you can donate finished quilts or fabrics. It is all
here. Katherine makes it easy for us to follow through and make quilts for
those in need.
There are many significant quotes, which I loved, in each chapter. I
hesitated to include any of them in this interview because they need to be
read as they were meant to be, as part of each chapter. They are so
meaningful and an integral part of this book.
Please jump over and visit Sondra’s blog where she has the full interview with the author
The Quilting For Peace website is another excellent resource and
clearinghouse of information. Katherine has a blog, a Flickr Group and a
Get Involved Page with extensive information.
The work that Katherine Bell has done is to be commended. She has opened
our eyes and consolidated valuable information and resources in her book,
website and blog. Katherine has now made it easy for all of us to do our
part in providing hope and comfort to another person.
