Just in case your diary has taken leave of absence without your permission, a reminder:-
The Summer Quilt Show
12-July – 11-Sept 2010
Minerva Arts Centre
Llanidloes
Powys
Wales
UK
As there is nowhere in earth you would rather be than in mid Wales during any August and September, this is a quilting exhibition that just cannot be missed for the quality of work, imagination, style, presentation and an opportunity to explore and share knowledge with all the folk of the Quilt Association.
Plus Llanidloes is a rather charming Welsh village with a substantial history and wondrous scenery all around to be enjoyed however you travel.
Exhibitions Galore
Jul 24th
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.

Llanidloes
Sep 14th
The summer 2007 exhibition at Llanidloes run by The Quilt Association is drawing to a close.
If you have not yet been, now is your last chance…….
The usual mix of antique and modern has caused some debate. Everyone has a view, and if it can inspire and generate debate and reaction then thats good for the future of quilting. Bumble Bee Quilting spent a day there this week. We certainly enjoyed the mixture of new and old, demonstrating changing techniques, colours and fabrics over time. Some high quality work indeed, this event should be engraved on all our calendars each year.
