After nearly a year in the making, I’m delighted to finally share that The 80 Candles Quilt: Honouring Individual Lives Through Collaborative Stitch will be available to purchase from 27th February.
This book represents an extraordinary collective effort. I couldn’t be more proud of what I and the makers and storytellers of The 80 Candles Quilt have achieved together. Each stitch, each square and each story honours an individual life and reflects the care, generosity and creativity of everyone involved.
