A Victorian pocket puzzle which tells the story of one of the world’s most famous quilts. The Rajah Quilt is heralded as “an extraordinary work of art; a product of beauty from the hands of many women who, while in the most abject circumstances, were able to work together to produce something of hope”. Find out about the women, journey and material culture that made it. Illustrations from this zine were first featured in Illuminating Letters.

All profits from this month’s zine will go to Fine Cell Work a charity and social enterprise committed to the rehabilitation of prisoners through training them in high-quality needlework skills, and then supports and pays them to create beautiful handmade products, which felt very fitting for a zine about the Rajah Quilt.

Printed on 150gsm textured paper. These zines are assembled, stamped and numbered by me in London.
