Win a plant dyed quilt + support BPOC farmers in the UK

Meet the gardener and quilter teaming up to raise awareness for land justice work and donate to win their community sourced, plant dyed quilt.

Sui and Jess solicited plant dyed fabric donations from their online community during the pandemic in order to sew a quilt in honour of Land in Our Names, a Black-led grassroots land and racial justice collective working to diversify farming in the UK.

All funds raised through their fundraiser and quilt draw running through Friday April 30th at midnight go directly towards Grower's Grants for BPOC farmers and growers in the UK working on equitable food systems. Access to land and green space is strikingly unequal in the UK and Land in Our Names is working to change this with attention to the intersections of class, race, and gender.

If you would like to support land and racial justice work please donate directly to Land in Our Names and enter to win our plant dyed quilt before the end of April at publiclibraryquilts.com/fundraiser. The 'Racial Justice is Land Justice' quilt is made form the work of over 50 plant dye artists from 11 countries and was sewn together in London, England. Fundraiser and draw open internationally.

How to participate: 

Step 1. Donate what you can financially give directly to Land in Our Names (suggested minimum £10, please give generously if you can.)

Step 2. Enter yourself in the quilt draw with the short form at publiclibraryquilts.com/fundraiser (closes April 30th at midnight BST) 

You can see our quilt in the window at Sage Flowers in London through April 30th. This is a free draw for a set prize open to all: times are tough and a quilt is for everyone, give what you financially can. This is not a raffle: each person regardless of financial privilege has the same chance at winning the quilt. One household = one entry for the quilt please.
