I love the exhibitions curated by European Art QuiltsFoundation. The current one, EAQ VII,
premiered at last summer’s Festival of Quilts.
Each time the choice of ‘quilts’ moves further and further towards
textile art, or fine art textiles and that of course means I like it even more.
The variety of quilts in it is amazing as is the array of
techniques used. It was one part of the
Festival of Quilts that visitors really lingered in; some examining the quilts
trying to work out how they had been produced; others just enjoying the
artistry.
I had the privilege of writing about it for the April
edition of Popular Patchwork and I am really pleased at how good it looks on
the page as well as ‘in the flesh’ so to speak.
This first page shows quilts by Sarah Welsby (top) and
Amelia Leigh.
Talking of the Festival of Quilts, I booked my flight to
go to this year’s show last week. Are
you going this year?
