Boise Peace Quilters are a diverse group. Although our ages, occupations, political affiliations, and spiritual orientation vary greatly, we are bound together by our concern for the quality of life on our planet.
We are convinced that increasingly, ordinary people need to act. We are joined in our conviction by people the world over. The Boise group has grown from the original 35 to hundreds who have become involved in the local project, and many more globally who have used fiber arts for social change in their own communities.
BPQP Mission Statement
"The Boise Peace Quilt Project exists to model, promote, and inspire creative social action. Through consensus, we combine our individual talents to stitch cooperative quilts to honor peacemakers, move minds, and change hearts. We nurture a joyful, healthy community of mutual support consistent with the peaceful future we are building in our own lives and in the world."
