Reading's Lockdown Quilt - The Rising Sun Arts Centre organised a community quilt project to bring people together during our time in lockdown, to share our thoughts, experiences and stories through photography, poetry, music, dance and writing. As we were unable to meet in person, the first quilt was digital using images and short films. As lockdown eased, we came together to create a fabric version of the quilt. This quilt is on display at Bookface Chapter 12 this weekend. You can view our digital quilt here: Reading Lockdown Quilt (risingsunartscentre.org)
