London quilters' exhibition

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.

    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!

    Would 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!

    The one with birch trees is by Christine Restall and "Joan Miro" is by Veronica Chambers, for the record!

Thanks for your comment. I love to read them, but can't always respond.
