The #parlicovidmemorialquilt project aims:

We wanted there to be a clear driving force behind the quilt's creation. We developed the four c’s to act as the thread running through, & joining, the entire project. These 4 c’s are: Create, Connect, Convey, Commemorate.

So great to hear from @DawnButlerBrent & @naomia_creative about the amazing @ParliQuilt project. Very moving and reminded me to take time to reflect.

I made 3 patchwork blocks for the Covid Memorial @ParliQuilt in tribute to my constituents Margaret Gunshorn and Jane Rowbotham and all the other key workers in Worsley and Eccles South who died during the pandemic 👇

[ParliCovidMemorial @ParliQuilt]

Here are the first 64 patchwork blocks all sewn together! These patchwork blocks are being pieced together to create a lasting textile memorial of the Pandemic that represents the multitude of experiences within Parliament whilst also demonstrating unity through a single quilt.

👏 Brilliant to see that the beautiful @ParliQuilt has made a return to Parliament.

It's such a moving tribute to those we have loved and lost during the COVID-19 pandemic, with patches from constituencies up and down the country.

Really proud of ⁦@alicemorgan_94⁩ who created the ⁦@CamdenCouncil⁩ square for ⁦@ParliQuilt⁩ a legacy project for ⁦@HouseofCommons⁩ - with ⁦@Keir_Starmer⁩ & ⁦@TulipSiddiq⁩

[Ruth Cadbury @RuthCadbury]

Lockdown gave me time for a bit of creativity & contribute to a lasting memorial - so glad to see everyone else’s blocks and the quilt coming together #parlicovidmemorialquilt

[Luke Pollard MP @LukePollard]

Great to see the block from #plymouth I submitted to the @ParliQuilt now seen together. The Plymouth Covid Quilt is in my office window before it starts a tour of the city to remember those we lost, the sacrifices made and the people who got us through it. Thank you.

[Alex Davies-Jones MP @AlexDaviesJones]

So lovely seeing this beautiful and important project come to life 🥰

I spy a patch belonging to #Pontypridd & #TaffEly 👀👇

[Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP @BellRibeiroAddy]

I stopped by the Covid Memorial Quilt in Parliament @ParliQuilt today to see how it's coming along.

Representing Streatham, we have a lovely entry from @SLRAcharity alongside other patches from up and down the country #Streatham #ParliCovidMemorial

[Maria_Miller @MariaMillerUK]

Looking forward to seeing #ParliamentCoronavirusMemorialQuilt today in ⁦@HouseofCommons⁩ -Basingstoke’s “patch” is from the Mayoress, an expert quilter; her moving contribution is about how vital communication has been to combat loneliness thru the Pandemic @BasingMayor⁩

[ParliCovidMemorial @ParliQuilt]

@BellRibeiroAddy @SLRAcharity @StreathamLabour @LambethLabour @DawnButlerBrent It is such an incredible block - the level of detail is awe-inspiring!

Here is the superb block that @JNHanvey contributed to the #parlicovidmemorialquilt . We quilted in the seams of this fabulous block whilst gazing in awe at the precision of the points that meet - in awe!
A 🧵 about this marvellous block: 1/4

[ParliCovidMemorial @ParliQuilt]

"Stitching is also meditative & therapeutic with each stitch capturing a thought, moment or a memory.
We lost both friends & family during the Pandemic & this panel is dedicated to their memory & to the memory of those lost across my Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath constituency."
