Haiti PeaceQuilts: After the Quake

Haiti Peacequilts
with Maureen McClintock
Sunday, May 16 at 4pm
Beacon Feed Studio
Cost: Free; donations appreciated

The story of PeaceQuilts is a novel and highly unlikely one. In a tropical country, the poorest in the Western Hemisphere, the concept of quilts and quilting is introduced into a Haitian training school curriculum by Jeanne Staples, a visionary artist from Martha’s Vineyard, and Maureen Matthews McClintock, a master quilter and clinical psychotherapist from rural Vermont. The project is nurtured by a pair of Haitian Catholic nuns who teach needlework, and becomes an entrepreneurial success in less than two years. Join us for a return visit from Maureen McClintock and an update on the project since the devastation of earthquake in Haiti.

It's not the best of times for the rag-tag group of monks in a 13th century French monastery: The river flooded again last week, nobody's heard of the wheelbarrow yet and the abbey's patron saint hasn't produced a miracle -- or a paying pilgrim -- in 13 years.

The destitute monks feel their faith slipping away until they cross paths with a cunning, one-eyed traveling minstrel who teaches them an enterprising way to fill their empty offering plate.
