Northern Ireland quilt, workshops facilitated by Sonia Copeland, 2008
Photograph: Christopher Keenan

Four Belfast based women’s groups participated in making this quilt: Ardmonagh
Family Centre, Beechfield Parent Partnership, Women’s Group Woodstock
Alternatives and Women United Clifton Park Avenue. Here, the handcrafting of
Loyalist, Nationalist, Republican and Unionist women, rich in symbolism and
colour, demonstrates a tentative coming together to express a vision for a new
inclusive society in Northern Ireland.
Quaker House Belfast, who funded and co-ordinated the making of the quilt and to
whom it was donated on completion, urge us to absorb the messages of this quilt
through viewing it with our senses: “It has been said; ‘Listen till ye hear.’ As you
stand before this quilt today let me suggest to you that ‘You look till ye see’.”
As women from four Belfast based women’s groups, drawn from diverse
communities gathered to stitch, and at times unstitch this piece together, they
created a space for peace-weaving/stitching. Sharing conversation, meals and
spaces together allowed them to explore their own vision for a shared future.
The strong, purposeful messages inscribed on the quilt indicate their yearning for
and commitment to a peaceful future: “We CAN make peace together – We CAN
make peace forever” and “We’re all in one boat.”
