This quilt was made by 25 women's groups from the West of Ireland and presented to Women Together in response to an invitation made by Mary Robinson at the time she was the president of Ireland (1990-1997). Pat Campbell, who is the coordinator of Northern Ireland's Peace Quilts that belong to Women Together, has written a brief piece for this exhibition* so that we can relate better to it. We are privileged to include it here by the quilt.

*(As of 2nd March 2022, we are unable to verify the name and year of the exhibition).

Testimony (undated) from Pat Campbell to Conflict Textiles curator Roberta Bacic on the background to and process of making the "The Western Patchwork Quilt For Peace" and Communities from the West of Ireland who contributed quilt panels is also available in the 'textile detail' section below.
