Last weekend I visited Forge Mill and Needle Museum in Redditch. It was mainly to support some friends who were doing an excellent Roman re-enactment demonstration - which takes up most of their spare time I think!
We also came across a lovely little quilting exhibition. These photos show the brilliant patchwork pieces on display. I would love to assimilate some of these styles into my own work. I've been inspired to try some new designs and techniques, so maybe I'll do some gold Turkish style quilts in future; so lavish and luxurious.

Here's a crazy book cover which would be brilliant! Very Paperchase. The work that goes into it is astounding and I love those bright colours!
I also love the idea of tracing around a child's hand to commemorate their life as part of a lifetime quilt, as pictured below.
Can you tell that I can't wait for the Festival of Quilts!?
