Just showing off

...but isn't it beautiful?! Thanks to everyone who has contributed towards our wonderful patchwork.

The Lewisham People's Patchwork on display at Catford Library for Catford Tales

The People's Patchwork makes its debut at Catford Library as part of Catford Tales

The People's Patchwork is all sewn together and up at Catford Library and it looks - and sounds - fantastic! (Jay Harris' beautiful, slightly ethereal soundscape is playing almost from within the fabric of the patchwork).

It's making it's debut for Catford Tales a week of lovely, quirky installations and events celebrating Catford and culminating in three performances by Lewisham Youth Theatre on Friday and Saturday, 24th and 25th July. All well worth attending if you can get along.

The quilt is now sewn together, edged and has a handy sleeve for hanging, but isn't yet quilted - so there's still a chance to get involved in completing this beautiful 2 x 3m quilt. We'll be announcing three quilting sessions at three libraries very soon. Come and take part!

More "sewing together" sessions

If you haven't yet had a chance to come to one of our "Sewing Together" sessions, please feel free to. Equally if you've been to one or more, we'd love to see you again.

The sessions  are a chance for us to involve as many people as possible in turning the People's Patchwork patches into the People's Patchwork. They're also lovely, friendly, chatty (or contemplative - depending on your mood) occasions for people to come together and sew. No particular expertise required. Hope to see you there!
