Quilt Day at the V&A

What a lovely day we had at the V and A, all thanks to Brenda Fish for arranging it for us. The coach was super(and I don’t like coach journeys!). We got to London> with ample time for coffee, lunch and a look round before our booked time to enter the quilt exhibition.

The exhibition itself was very good. It was lovely to see these old quilts, the skill of the quilters was stunning especialy considering how poor the lighting would have been. Some of the fabrics used looked as though they could have been bought very recently because of the patterns and the colours. One particular quilt I liked had several different sizes of spot fabrics in it that I would love to have in my collection today!

Do you wish you had come with us? There is still time to see it as it’s on until July.

Many thanks once again to Brenda.
