Thank you to everyone who took part in this, we've loved working on this and it's been wonderful to hear so many stories about Harrow.

Last week we got together as a group to stitch the cloths to the backing. This piece is coming together beautifully, we’ve enjoyed the social aspect as well as the stitching. I wonder how many women have sat around these table cloths over the years chatting about their lives and neighbourhoods.
Looking forward to sharing this piece with you all before too long.

If you’d like to add your word to our project you’ve got a couple more days, head to the link in our profile and tell us how living in Harrow makes you feel. We’re piecing together all the individual fabrics we’ve been stitching on to make a large artwork ready to show this piece next year. Be part of it and tell us your word!
