They also had to\u00a0be 12 inches square and include the name of the club that had made it. All of the squares would be sewn together by SI San Fernando to make a peace quilt.<\/p>\n<p>The squares were collected at the 2022 SIGBI conference in Belfast, so that the quilt would be ready to be displayed at the Soroptimist International conference in Dublin in July 2023.<\/p>\n<p>S.I Cannock member Lynne Tuckley, an experienced cross stitcher, designed a square showing 2 doves with an olive branch and a border of multi coloured PEACE words.
