The First Nepal Tiger Quilt (2019)

The blocks for this quilt were stitched in 2018 by women in Bardiya District, Nepal, whose family members disappeared during the conflict (1996-2006). The blocks celebrate the tigers that live in the nearby Bardiya national park. The stitching was led by Sarita Thapa and sponsored by the Network of Families of the Disappeared Nepal (NEFAD), an AP Partner. Four AP Peace Fellows supported the artists between 2015 and 2018. The blocks were assembled into three quilts by Bobbi Fitzsimmons and Connie Moser in North Carolina.
