Quilter | Veronica Mays
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This block was embroidered by a survivor of gender-based violence in the African Country of Mali. It describes life in her village before she was attacked and expelled during conflict.
The block was turned into a quilt by Veronica Mays in Rhode Island. Veronica gave up teaching in the summer of 2019 to quilt full-time. She runs her own company, Conaky’s Quilt Company, and produces vivacious quilts, usually in an African style.
Veronica was attracted to Sister Artists by the cause: “Helping Malian women to succeed after being mistreated definitely appealed to me.” She entitled her block Meal Time partly because she loves cooking, and partly because she appreciated her Malian design.
“I love the embroidery the artist chose for her piece and decided to add borders that bring out the colors within the panel while adding some African and Asian fabric flavors from my stash.”
All proceeds from this auction will be invested in a quilting project for GBV survivors in Mali. To donate visit our home page - www.advocacynet.org.
