A celebration of the adventurous spirit and rich heritage of women who make art through stitching, from current and former members of the international group Quilt Art.
Kate visited on 21st April - very far from traditional quilting. Some very creative, some political, some reduced to pattern; you wouldn't want to sleep under any of them. This is Kate's favourite, made by Sue Hotchkis from Scotland (overall and details).
Joan (and Kate) will be bringing Tyvek, heat guns and soldering irons. You do not need to bring your own electrical items, but if you do they need to be PAT tested in advance (Springbok on the High Street will do this for £1.50 an item).
Joan (and Kate) will also bring some of everything else, but bring your own, if you have it (them).
Bring your sewing kit and cotton machine thread both for decorative effects and sewing brooch backs onto felt.
