London Quilters are a very talented group and they have an exhibition every year in Swiss Cottage Library, which is a very lively space, with a very good cafe inside.
Alicia Merrett has photographs of the exhibition on her blog and there is an article here about a quilt made from Gordon Brown's ties.
My favourites are shown below. I didn't get all the makers' names as the show guide was on a laminated sheet, so apologies to those concerned.

The exhibition finished yesterday and I'm very glad I made the effort to go.

Wow, they are fab! The one by Alicia Merrett intrigued me, it looks like an ordinance survey map of a village, I think I'll ask Mr Ggogle if he knows anything!
ReplyDeleteWould I most like to own the Alicia Merrett map or the Margaret Jarvie swirls? it's a close run thing! Thanks for sharing these photos!
ReplyDeleteThe one with birch trees is by Christine Restall and "Joan Miro" is by Veronica Chambers, for the record!
