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.
