The January meeting saw a collection of quilts presented in a trunk, hired from the Quilter’s Guild, and presented by our members Val Wright, Hilary Goldsmith and Helen Mott. The 11 items in the trunk were all made in the last 40 years, and give examples of the changes, developments, styles and fabrics that have been a key part of patchwork and quilting history.

The pieces were a mix of traditional and modern techniques, showcasing experimentation with designs and fabrics, with inspiration taken from different places to produce pieces that reflect the makers’ lives and the world around them.
