Community Stitch Project Round-Up! 🧵 What a joy to lead and be part of this beautiful project. It brought together an incredible group of women from diverse ages and backgrounds, offering a unique insight into the lives of Ukrainians in Lancashire. Friendships blossomed, skills were shared, and countless small acts of kindness – from homemade snacks to roses and kind words – made every moment special. Each of the 20 members explored their creativity, with many, including Kate, discovering a new love for embroidery, tapestry, and appliqué. We learned new skills and created something truly beautiful together. Thank you to each person who was part of this project, to our Spacehive donors who helped fund it, the volunteers who helped put it all together, Clitheroe library for displaying it (go check it out if you are able). Also, a huge thank you to Lancashire Evening News for sharing our story of connection, creativity, and cross-cultural community! 🇺🇦Read full story here https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/26186302.ribble-valley-arts-crafts-project-brings-people-together/
