Quilting Conversations Workshop

Event Description

Join this free workshop series to stitch a square for our Global City Quilt

Join us at this free workshop series to stitch a square for our Global City Quilt to represent yourself and your identity.

This could include where you or your family first came from, what is important to you, something you believe in, or just what makes you happy!

You can add words with permanent marker and stitch over them, cut and stick shapes of different fabrics, add lace, sequins, buttons, or ribbon, paint and stitch into the picture, or even bring a photo to print out onto fabric.

You can hand stitch or use one of our sewing machines. All materials will be provided free of charge.

Later the squares will be sewn together to make a Global Leicester quilt to be displayed in the city libraries and community spaces over 2023.

Workshops:

• Tuesday 25th October 10.30am to 12.30pm


• Tuesday 1st November 10.30am to 12.30pm


• Tuesday 8th November 10.30am to 12.30pm

You need to be able to come to all three workshops (or two at a minimum) as one workshop will not give you time to finish your square.

To book your place please contact 07999 840 140 or email linda.harding@leicester.gov.uk.

If you can't make this event but would still like to take part, more workshops are taking place at libraries and neighbourhood centres across the city, or you can make one from home!
