We are very lucky in our corner of rural Mid Wales in the northern parts of Powys. We currently have not one but two ongoing quilting exhibitions within relatively short distances of each other. There can be few places in the world so blessed.

Today is the penultimate day of Maldywn Quilters annual exhibition at the Community Centre in Carno. You’ll have to hurry however as it ends tomorrow (Sunday).

The summer exhibition at Llanidloes run by The Quilt Association continues throughout the summer in the Minerva Centre until 11-Sept-2010.

For all with an interest in craft, design, textiles and an abundance of skill and dedication then both of these events should be a must. Even if you are just caught short by the Welsh summer weather and merely want some respite from the “heat” with perhaps a cup of tea and a desire for inspiration then visit one or other or preferably both.

You’ll not regret meeting with some friendly people and quality quilters.
