Created by a community, shared with a community.

This is the final week to see Bristol's contribution to the Grenfell Memorial Quilt at Bristol Cathedral.

Created by Bristol Star Stitchers, the quilt brought together more than 30 people of different ages and sewing experience, united by a desire to remember those affected by the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

At its heart are 72 embroidered stars, each bearing the name and age of a person who died. Around them are symbols of remembrance, hope and community.

Before the quilt continues its journey, we invite you to spend some time with this remarkable piece of artwork and reflection.
