Beginner Hand Stitching: Forres Community Quilt
Join us as we use simple stitches to replicate some of Forres’ most iconic imagery in hand sewn quilt patches and contribute to a community quilt inspired by Forres. The resulting quilt will be donated to FACT for exhibition in their buildings after renovation.
