Get involved
Leicester Museums and Galleries invite you to free workshops at community centres and libraries across the city, 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.
