Help shape the Leytonstone Community Quilt

What does Leytonstone mean to you? A favourite place, a familiar face, a memory or a hope for the future could all become part of a community artwork.

The Leytonstone Community Quilt will bring neighbours together to create a large textile piece celebrating the people, places and stories of our area. Through local creative sessions, residents will be invited to share ideas and make pieces that become part of the finished quilt.

We want the process to be welcoming, creative and sustainable. You don’t need any sewing experience to contribute an idea or take part.

The brief explains the vision for the quilt and how local people and groups can get involved. We’d love to hear what you think and what you’d like to see represented.

The Oakum is developing the project with Transition Leytonstone and local collaborators.
