Tattoo Quilt SewAlong

The Tattoo Quilt is no ordinary quilt. It is an epic voyage into your heart, via your sewing space, that will take you to places of excitement, frustration, delight, self-reflection ...and eventually awesome empowerment!
The quilt was designed by Berene Campbell, and began in January 2017, one block per month, each with one word that was relevant to current affairs that month.
The quilt captures a personal journey of searching for positivity during a challenging time of political turmoil worldwide.
Berene designed the blocks in the style of vintage tattoos because, like tattoos, the events that were occurring in the world were indelible and cannot be erased from our history.
Tattoos are also used historically as a means of documenting events in people’s lives.
Her goal for this quilt was that to process our feelings, and to provoke dialogue and empathy across borders, whether those borders be geographical, political, religious or even within your friends and family.

Join us together with Berene from Happy Sew Lucky in an epic SewAlong to create your very own Tattoo Quilt!
We'll be making the tattoo quilt, one block per month over the course of a year starting in June, 2020 but you can start at anytime! There is a facebook group and video's detailing techniques delivered along the way.
