Join us to learn stitches such as chain stitch, cross stitch, blanket stitch, and French knots. You’ll sew them onto pieces of padded fabric, which will then be assembled to create a ‘Windrush Quilt’, commemorating the contributions of African and Caribbean men and women who arrived in the UK during the 1950s–70s. The finished quilt will be on display in Waltham Forest Libraries during 2026.

Facilitated by crafter Elizabeth Joseph, these Workshops will be run over six Saturdays:

1. Saturday 24th January
2. Saturday 31st January
3. Saturday 21st February
4. Saturday 28th February
5. Saturday 14th March
6. Saturday 28th March

All materials will be provided.

Organised by Waltham Forest Twinning Association, in residency at William Morris Gallery. Made possible with support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
