In my last
blogpost I promised show you some of the antique quilts on show at the Festival
of Quilts in Birmingham. Let’s go and first visit the Family Connections
exhibition hosted by the UK Quilter’s Guild:
This stunning quilt
obviously was the inspiration for the new fabric collection by Karen Styles
called Elizabeths Dowry :-
I loved and was
amazed by this exhibition by the Quilter’s Guild, obviously guarding their
heritage is close to their hearts and something they put a lot of effort into,
they have built an extensive collection since their formation in 1979 and are
very proud to share it. To be honest this focus on what is the basis, the
history of our shared passion is something I do miss at our national guild in
The Netherlands.
Next, let’s
have a look at the other exhibtion with antique quilts, Kaffe Fassett was kind
enough to show some of his antique quilts at this show:
And to end our
tour of this exhibtion another stunning quilt:
Hope these
antiques inspire you as much as they do me!
