London Quilters exhibition

London Quilters' biennial exhibition is at Swiss Cottage Library until 29 May, open till 8pm on weekdays, 5 on Saturdays and 4 on Sundays.

The space is large and bright, and the private view was very well attended-

The foyer area where the issue desk used to be, before it became self-service, gives extra exhibition space -
and there are quilts and smaller items for sale - touching allowed! -
Among the exhibits, Monica Milner made these discharged fabrics in the workshop with Bob Adams a couple of years ago - my own fabrics from that workshop are still in the cupboard, waiting...
Christine Restall started her series of fruit prints in another workshop I too attended - I remember her blue apples but can't remember anything I produced! -
A close-up of Linda Seward's zen garden -
and of Vicky Glynn's sheer layers -
My favourite in the show is "the red quilt", a kantha by Veronika Chambers, based on the graffiti in the neighbourhood -
Photos of all the quilts will be loaded onto the London Quilters website ... sometime soon ...
