Created alongside the quilt, this book documents a two-year journey of collective making across the London Borough of Camden. Through photographs, reflections and personal stories, it brings together the voices of the hundreds of people who contributed their fabric portraits to this collaborative artwork.
The book follows the creative process behind the project — from the first workshops to the quilting, exhibitions and the relationships built along the way. It honours the makers, the stories behind the stitches, and the power of craft to connect people across generations and backgrounds.
By purchasing this book, you are supporting socially engaged art, community craft projects and the continued sharing of textile practices as tools for connection, care and social change.
