Quilters, embroiderers and knitters
Fabric patches
Patches need to be 15cm x 15cm with a 1.5 cm border of
fabric on each side to allow them to be joined together.
Patches should be based on a 18cm x 18cm square of
pre-washed cotton. Please feel free to create the design using:
- appliqué
- embroidery
- transfer
- fabric paint
- or by sewing / gluing on knitted or woven pieces.
You can hand in your patch at any Lewisham
library
Patches will not be returned. We will incorporate as many as
possible into the People’s Patchwork quilt, which will be on display at
People’s Day 2014, and will tour Lewisham from autumn 2014.
The story behind the patch
We’re really interested in the story behind the patch and
would like to share stories alongside images of the patchwork online – so
please also consider attaching to your patch some details of what the patch you
have created means to you. Be sure to include your name (unless you want to
remain anonymous) and your postcode so we know how far round the borough our
people’s patchwork is reaching.
Storytellers, poets and wordsmiths
The patchwork of stories
If you have a story, reminiscence or simply want to share
your feelings about life in Lewisham, please add to our collection with or
without a patch to accompany it. Prose, poetry, reminiscence, drawings and
photographs from people of all ages are very welcome.
You can write your own story and bring it to one of
Lewisham’s libraries – or email it to: library.engagement@lewisham.gov.uk
