A group of Oxfam volunteers and supporters are putting together a community quilt dedicated to groups, businesses and places in Alderley Edge.
Almost 40 people have been involved in the project which started on Mothering Sunday.
Led by Oxfam volunteer Anne Hillier, they have been creating patches using recycled clothes then Anne has been embroidering logos on them of local businesses and establishments significant to Alderley Edge.
Amongst the patches are ones dedicated to St Philips & St James Church, the library and bookclubs, Alderley Edge Community Primary School, The Edge, gardens and allotments, the Alderley Edge Festival, scouts and guides and Oxfam, as well as some local businesses.
The Alderley Edge Community Quilt, which is based on "A Grandmother's Flower Garden' design should be finished by Christmas and a group of ladies met for the first time on Tuesday, 21st October, to start putting the patches together.
Anne Hillier said "I volunteer for Oxfam so it is a way of raising money for Oxfam whilst involving members of the community and people who shop in Oxfam as well as businesses."
She added "Once it is finished we will put it on display somewhere, probably in Oxfam, and then maybe sell it if someone names a good price. Or we might raffle it and the money will go to one of the Oxfam projects."
