Not A Quilt For Miss Sarajevo by Claudia Comay

Size: 22.5" x 21.5"
Material: Cotton, leather, batting, staples, bells, plastic tubes and ink
Artist.
I got into the internet when I met my computer guru (now my husband) about ten years ago.

I was influenced by the peace processes in Bosnia, Ireland, and Israel. Thus, the quilt carries a fervent wish for a sunnier, kinder tomorrow. The quilt's bell shape is inspired by the Liberty Bell. Since we use bells to call to order and attention, my quilt calls attention to the futility of war and also calls for peace. I wrote a small poem and placed it on the top edge where the quilt will be supported. The title was inpired by the song "Miss Sarajevo" by Passengers on their album "Passengers: Original Soundtracks 1."
