Quilted Wall Hanging Raises Money for the National Fund, 1995

By Diane Findlay, submitted May 2023

In 1995, Des Moines Area Baha’is held a silent auction to raise money for the National Baha’i Fund. We were lucky enough to make the winning bid on this gorgeous machine-embroidered wall hanging, made by Peggy Cheney. The writing you see is all quotations from Baha’u’llah; the center photo gives a closer look at four of those quotations. And the lower right corner documents the time, place, and creator of this stunning work of art, made with love in service to the Cause. We treasure it! It’s hung in our home ever since.

"In every Dispensation, the light of Divine Guidance has been focused upon one central theme.… In this wondrous Revelation… the foundation of the Faith of God, and the distinguishing feature of His Law, is the consciousness of the oneness of mankind."

— ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, cited in The Promised Day is Come
