Another lovely Exhibition entitled A Quilted Bridge- The Amish- Welsh Connection.
Lots of lovely Welsh wool quilts and lots of Amish Quilts . I could only take photo's of the Welsh ones as the Amish ones were on loan from the American Museum in Bath and they didn't want their quilts photographed. Shame It might just entice visitors who haven't seen their collection to pay them a visit. Hey Ho rules are rules.
Although I have seen lots of Jen's collection before in books and at the museum its so nice to revisit and get up close and personal. Their was one I hadn't seen before a simple square patch wool set on point in the darkest richest purple and cream - absolutely gorgeous.
It was a year ago on Tuesday that DH passed away. My darling son decided to take the day off work and spend it with me. With Abi we headed off to Slimbridge http://www.wwt.org.uk/visit/slimbridge/ DH would have so enjoyed it. For once this week the sun shone and were able to remember happier times of just sitting watching the birds flying in and out something he found very calming.

I just love the handquilting patterns in Welsh quilts - they are simply marvelous!! Abi is getting cuter everytime you post her picture :0) I'm glad you were able to spend the day with your son.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful quilts. We don't get to see this style often enough. Your grand darlin' is growing so very fast. What an angel.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post, and such a caring son to spend that day with you, and create some new memories.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting in those Welsh quilts never ceases to amaze me...thanks for sharing. So glad your son and granddaughter were with you...
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful son!! He also has a darling daughter--those cheeks are just too sweet!! Would have love to see the quilting of these quilts up close--especially the red/green quilt. Glad to see that the family is remembering your DH--he is probably smiling of the memories of today.
ReplyDeleteMore beautiful quilts. Thanks for sharing. Such cute photos of Abi. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLoved the Pictures of the Welsh quilts. Glad to hear you had a good day at Slimbridge, always a good day out and if it gave you happy memories then double the pleasure for you! Off to sew at The American Museum on Tuesday will be sad to miss the Amish quilts as they are at the other exhibition though! Gorgeous little GD you have there, looks like a real bundle of fun!

Beautiful quilts, the purple & cream is my fave. We visited the American Museum in Bath many years ago and the quilts there just blew me away.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you 3 had a good day last Tuesday, Abi is just adorable and must be a great joy to you all.
If ever they need to rehome that purple and cream quilt then I am the person to take care of it. Yummy colours. Lovely quilts. Can't believe it is one year on. My thoughts are with you all. Abi is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts, breath of fresh air in their simplicity. You have a very thoughtful son... What a nice way to make what could be such a sad day into something joyful.
ReplyDeleteI just can never get tired of seeing quilts like this and studying the hand quilting
