The Harlan Valley Quilters

In our gathering, we honor and celebrate our diversity. We do not seek a unity that would deny our differences. We seek rather a deeper union, a union quilted through choice and intent, through time and attention, through respect and compassion, until we recognize that we have become a whole cloth, made rich and textured and vibrant through our differences. We are quilted together. We are bound to one another. We belong to and with each other. --Mary Pauluk
