Manchester Quilting Bee

#manchesterquiltingbee have been collecting fabric squares from generous quilters, crafters and first timers around the world in order to make up quilts for those affected by the tragic attacks in Manchester this May and they’ve had an amazing response so far.

They are collecting five inch hexagons appliqued onto 6.5 inch cotton squares. They are being made into quilts for the families affected by the Manchester terrorist attacks. The hexagons can be embroidered, appliqued, or decorated in any way you like, but they must be able to survive a wash. All details about the project can be found on the Manchester Quilting Bee Facebook page which is https://www.facebook.com/manchesterquiltingbee/

One of our lovely contributors, Angela Daymond, who was born in Manchester was also involved in the project and created a design that people used at the time. This is no longer available
