I’m delighted to have been invited to hold a workshop for this Project, by The Quilt Association in Llanidloes!
Please join us for an afternoon of stitching, where we’ll be working on a square for this community quilt - quilting squares is not compulsory, you can knit, embroider, or crochet instead for example.
Each square must be 6.5 inches (to include a 1/2 inch hem), with an element of red.
This Project is collecting and acknowledging women’s stories, memories and lived experiences.
You can create a decorative, or political, or feminist piece, related to yourself, or another woman you know, or to womankind in general. The square can be embroidered with symbols or words if you wish.
All squares are welcome!
The Quilt, when completed, will be displayed and exhibited in exhibitions, shows and women’s groups, helping to raise awareness, inspiration and encouragement.
It will be launched in March 2027 in Monmouthshire, and then tour across Wales.
This workshop will run from 1pm to 4pm, including refreshments, along with access to all my materials, threads and needles etc., though you are very welcome to bring your own if you have a specific colour or design in mind.
The cost per person is £20, which includes all materials and equipment and refreshments.
If not all squares are completed by the end of the workshop, you can post them to me before the end of September at the following address:
