V&A Commemorative Panel -GIVE AWAY

 

Today I am giving away this lovely V&A Commemorative panel . I think it has to be for an overseas guest as it can be obtained quite easily here in the UK at the V&A or online.

It is commemorating the greatest exhibition of old quilts that we have ever seen in England. It is screen printed and would look great in the centre of a quilt or you might just like to keep it as a memento of this great occasion. The quilts will be on display until 4th July 2010. So start saving your air fare and come and see this marvelous exhibition.

Please leave your comments and I will pick a name on 31st March pm.

Good Luck
Sue

V&A Quilts 3

Well I have decided to post the pictures that I took at the V&A in 2005 as these pictures are in the books and I am seeing them elsewhere. So at the risk of being transported to sunnier clim's here they are.
The quilts were taken from draws and laid out on a table so couldn't get height and distance shots, I do however think this is good as you can get a better idea of the fabrics. I am working my way through the book that goes with the exhibition so am learning a bit more of the history.
Enjoy.

V&A QUILTS 2

Their has been lots of information coming through about the V&A from The British Quilt & Textile History List I belong to so I am going to post some links for you to look at.

It was also on BBC radio, woman's hour but I can't seem to link to it. If you go to BBC woman's hour, then the listen section it is on Mondays programme.

The Guardian.

The Dyers hand blog.

Hope you enjoy.

V&A Quilts 1700-2010

 
 

To London to London to visit the Queen.
No to visit the V&A quilts from 1700-2010.

What better way to celebrate National quilt Day and what a great exhibition I am very tired after a long day in London so will post again after a good nights sleep.

A very happy tired quilter.
