Quilt Art 25

Went to York Quilt Museum and Gallery yesterday, to see an exhibition called Quilt Art 25. Quilt Art is a group of twenty textile artists who've been collaborating for 25 years, hence the title. The exhibition was very good, some beautiful work providing great inspiration.

Unfortunately there was a strict 'No photography' policy, which I do understand but find frustrating, so this is a detail from High Tide Low Tide - Broadstairs/Kent, by Inge Hueber, used by the museum to promote the exhibition on their website. It is a beautiful quilt, the piecing of different shades is incredibly skillful and I liked that she'd chosen to leave the raw edges visible so it was like seeing the reverse of the quilt.

I've been doing craft 'stuff' for a long while and wanted to be able to share inspiration, ideas and images with friends. And who knows, it may even give me the impetus to finish some of the projects currently cluttering up the house.
