Sunderland artists are being invited to help stitch together Sunderland’s story as part of a community quilting programme.

The Cultural Spring and Thompson Park Community Association are inviting artists to take part in Stitching Sunderland’s Story, a community exhibition celebrating the stories, creativity and talents of the people of Sunderland.

Members of the public have taken part in the community quilting project through the Made Together programme, exploring Sunderland’s heritage and community through textiles.

Through this project, which was led by artist Harriett Mee, participants created a large-scale quilt inspired by local history, memories and experiences.

Sunderland artists, makers, crafters and hobbyists are being invited to help stitch Sunderland’s story as part of a community quilting programme.
