An opportunity for those bereaved or affected by suicide to have a creative arts space to support each other has been created, as the Yorkshire 'Speak Their Name' suicide memorial quilt project is launched.
The quilt will be made up of individual squares designed by those who have been bereaved by suicide in Yorkshire. Each square will represent the unique memories of the family member or friend who has died.
The quilt will be made up of 10cm squares which are either stitched, drawn, felted or woven. It will be made into a professionally quilted item inspired by the long history of community creative arts as a way of expressing remembrance from The Bayeux Tapestry through to the very recent Covid Memorial Wall in London. The quilt will be completed and displayed on World Suicide Prevention Day 2022.
