The first is this series by Helen Young. There were seven parts but not all my photographs were good enough to pass on.
I also liked some of the pieces in the 'Make Do and Mend' section. Cutting and slashing/faux chenille are techniques I enjoy. It was good to see them used for these bags.
The exhibition was a good mix of traditional and contemporary work.
I enjoyed the exhibition at the Quilt Museum. It's sad that it will be closing. I liked the antique traditional quilts. It is amazing what used to be produced with limited fabrics and oil lamps or candlelight. Kaffe Fasset's quilts were as vibrant as ever. I appreciate that his inspiration came from the old quilts but I'm not sure they worked well together. Vivid colour is his 'thing' but I thought his quilts appeared brash alongside the faded colours of the old ones. Any thoughts?
All in all a good day out
