Corris Uchaf, Wales
Yeah for the V&A
I have been sent 2 tickets from the V&A for the Quilt Exhibition (for an earlier post see here) Yeah … 
I now have about a month to get there from our corner of rural Wales – but I shall make it by hook or by crook … and I’ll let you know my thoughts although I dare say I shall not be able to share any pictures with you unfortunately – but we’ll see.
Can’t wait – it promises to be a fantastic exhibition of quilts, designs, fabrics and techniques over the centuries

The rolling hills of southern Snowdonia will rock for 4 nights commencing 2nd September 2010 to the sounds of bands, singing, choirs and general harmless frivolity. Corris Music Festival again hits the scene of this largely forgotten corner of Wales under the watchful eye of the Mother Mountain – Cadair Idris. With most of the
Patience

Perhaps that should read Patience and Trigonometry. And this is not a new card game with triangular cards. I am creating patchwork squares for a new quilt top.

Found this when looking for something else, just as you do. It seems such a good idea as well, catalogue properly all quilts that it can, together with details of the quilter and where it is currently housed. Not sure I can say much more as a whole waft of the website is about copyright

Stitched: art quilter documentary
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
A film about quilting? Or perhaps more pertinently a film about quilting against time, against tradition and against other adverse circumstances? We can all identify with at least two of these and maybe the other as well. Stitched: art quilter documentary. Should be an eye-opener, I hope to catch the full version when released, but

I went down to London about a month ago to see it and is definately worth the trip (I thought so anyway). Shameless self promotion in the “here’s my own blog post on it” vein: http://sorchaogle.wordpress.com/2010/04/27/quilts-1700-2010-hidden-histories-untold-stories/
Have fun!
