In mid October of 2024 Sophia Alhadeff and Sophia Munic met at Jewish Voice for Peace meeting and began the process of making a community quilt. This quilt is a site to bear witness to the genocide, to hold our collective grief & to dream Palestinian liberation, stitch by stitch.

After putting out the call for quilt blocks at the end of November 2024, we received 36 blocks from the US and Canada. Quilts blocks were made at workshops in Minneapolis & Chicago as well as individually. One by one they each arrived, an act of solidarity and a small piece of building the world to come. 

Many hands made this quilt. Over the course of the spring and summer, a group of antizionist artists gathered at Spill Paint Not Oil in St. Paul hosted by Donna Goodlaxon. Together, in community, we decided how the quilt would come to be - the arrangement of the blocks, the technique of assembling the pieces, the poem, the color of sashing and borders. 

The quilt was completed on Thursday August 8th 2024. The Olam Haba Quilt received 4th place in the Minnesota State Fair Creative Arts Division.
