Reading Lockdown Quilt is now transforming into a real life tapestry. Over the past few weeks, our Quilt Team has been measuring, drawing, designing, cutting, sewing... and now WE NEED YOU. We need as many volunteers as possible help us create this 2.5m x 10m fabric extravaganza. We're looking for sewers, stitchers, cutters, and anyone who likes drinking tea and eating biscuits.
