Irish Patchwork Society
Environment, Struggle - Hope
Made by Catharine Sherrard, 1988.
107x164cm
Influence: I was concerned about the lack of understanding that our physical and spiritual environment is polluted. The Swedish delegation to the world conference in Brazil were laughed at for talking about acid rain in the 1960's and 1970's
Technique: Machine piecing, hand quilted, 100% cotton.
This quilt was part of an exhibition of quilts from members of the Irish Patchwork Society in 2006/07. This exhibition shows quilts from the past 25 years. For more information about patchwork and quilting in Ireland see www.irishpatchwork.ie
