Kim Suleman and Debbie Garland from Six Penny Memories were proud to have been involved with this project. This was on display on The Vliesline Stand M8 at the Festival of Quilts...

...The Partnership Quilt was made in collaboration between Changing Lives staff, volunteers, and Open Lab at Newcastle University. It started out as an activity for sex workers and women who have been sexually exploited to work on during drop-in sessions in Northumberland, and from these humble beginnings, has turned into an interactive piece of art that functions as a living archive of sex workers' stories and experiences of Changing Lives service delivery in the North East of England. I was able to hear one of the stories at FOQ and it really was very humbling.
