Home Sewn will link New Scots women with community sewing groups across North Ayrshire, using recycled materials to make a quilt, each square one woman, each locality contributing one block of squares, creating a giant quilt representing the women of North Ayrshire, which will be displayed in community venues. Quilting brings women together to share time, feelings and experiences, improving well-being through connection, creativity and shared learning of new skills. It will help communities integrate and feel positive about themselves, and continue beyond the initial project as women will have access to the sewing machine and skills to use it.
