Today I had the privilege to help steward the Quilters Guild exhibition at the Spring Knitting and Stitching show at Olympia, London.
These are a few of the wonderful quilts from the exhibition commemorating WW1
Jacqui Coterill - Harbledown Great War Centenary Quilt
This wonderful quilt has been created from squares cut from military uniforms, interspersed with squares embroidered with the names of the men from Harbledown who fell during the Great War. The quilt has been embellished with cap badges and buttons, medal ribbons and personal keepsakes such as silk handkerchiefs.
Irene MacWilliam - Shot at Dawn
Senga Bain - Returning Home
Judith Dexter - One Soldiers Story
and a wonderful group exhibition of journal quilts.
It was inspiring to see these beautiful quilts and to meet visitors to the exhibition and share their stories.
