The Just Sew Stories Exhibition at The Rooftop Arts Centre April 2019




This was a lovely opportunity for people to see each others completed work, read their stories and to share the work with the wider community.

This maker was The Cat Who Walked by herself at school.

"The Dog was wild, and the Horse was wild, and the Cow was wild, and the Sheep was wild, and the Pig was wild—as wild as wild could be—and they walked in the Wet Wild Woods by their wild lones. But the wildest of all the wild animals was the Cat. He walked by himself, and all places were alike to him."

“This, O my Best Beloved is a story – a new and wonderful story – a story quite different from the other stories”― Rudyard Kipling, Just So Stories



This story was dedicated to Gertrude Jekyll


Remembering the strong women in her 
family and life in Jarrow and Corby


The tale od three sisters - Evacuees from Birmingham
