Durham textile archive

Stitches, quilts, and works in progress

Every fortnight our Durham gathering tables fill with patchwork blocks, crewelwork hoops, mending piles, and hand-dyed wool. Here is a small glimpse of what our members make together.

Pieces from the table

Our members work across traditional quilting, contemporary surface design, delicate goldwork, and practical visible mending. Nothing here required an audition or formal art degree.

Bring your current project along

Whether your piece is halfway through or freshly pinned, there is an open chair and a warm kettle waiting for you in Durham.
