The Quilt

The Travel Quilt was developed as part of the rich history of quilt making to document local memories through stitch. The making process involved participants translating their memories visually, using collage, textile print and embroidery. These panels were then stitched onto a fabric backing, which then toured local sewing groups to be further embroidered onto.

The Travel Trunk

The travel trunk
will serve as a time capsule, preserving the essence of the project for generations to come. Adorned with carefully crafted embellishments and adorned with the spirit of
the community, the trunk is a testament to the resilience and creativity of Newham’s elderly residents.
