Pieces of Our Journey: An English Paper Piecing Quilt made by People with Breast CancerOpen to the public on Mon 9 Nov, Tue 17 Nov and Tue 24 Nov
Free admission | Booking Required
Discover Pieces of Our Journey, a collective quilt made from hundreds of individual stories, stitched together through creativity, connection and shared experience.
This exhibition is the culmination of Pink Stitch 2026, a participatory textile arts programme for people with lived experience of breast cancer, delivered by Cayr Charity in collaboration with textile artist Emily Jo Gibbs.
At the heart of the project is a collective quilt, made up of hundreds of individually hand-stitched hexagons. Each rosette was created by a person with lived experiences of breast cancer, using fabric and paper backings chosen for their own personal meaning. The materials might hold a memory, represent a place or person, mark a significant moment, or simply be something that felt important. Together, these individual pieces create a deeply personal portrait of a person’s experience with breast cancer.
