A portion of Ina May Gaskin's 'Safe Motherhood Quilt' will also be displayed as part of the exhibit (presented by ICAN of GC and DNNEO), in addition to also being displayed on Sunday at BIRTH - Engage the Wisdom. We are very excited at how many will be touched by this powerful piece!

The Safe Motherhood Quilt Project is a national effort developed to draw public attention to the current maternal death rates, as well as to the gross underreporting of maternal deaths in the United States, and to honor those women who have died of pregnancy-related causes since 1982.
The Project is the vision of Ina May Gaskin, midwifery pioneer and author of Ina May's Guide to Childbirth and the classic Spiritual Midwifery, who has been instrumental in bringing this issue to the public light.
