What’s On

The aim of Quiltfest’s latest exhibition in the Coach House Gallery is to provide an exciting and stimulating event for quilters and the general public alike. Quilting is a very popular hobby and we look forward to sharing it with visitors who come to admire, enjoy and learn about the quilts on display and to possibly use them for inspiration for their own work.

One of the exhibitions on display is a challenge, set by Region 13, and open to Quilters’ Guild members; this year’s challenge is “Predominantly Blue” (as a nod to the Sapphire anniversary of the Guild) with members asked to produce a piece 12 inches square.  We have had more than 40 entries.

The other exhibition sections are by invitation and include work by regional quilters Dilys Fronks and Kathy Unwin, plus a selection of quilts from the European Quilt Association (https://www.e-q-a.eu/) challenge “Imagine a Bird”.

Dates and times open to the public:
