A Patchwork Exhibition
On a visit to Dorset I saw an advertisement in the local newspaper for this
exhibition of patchwork and quilting. I'm glad I found the time to stop off
there, it was a wonderful exhibition that I would like to share with you.
The quilts were made by students
studying for a qualification in needlework. These are the projects they made for
their course.
This wall hanging
shows a famous local view called Gold Hill. It is a steep hill with fine
views over the countryside. Yasuko should recognize it, as we visited
this spot together when she came to England. I like the subtle colours
they have used.

The
students start by making small objects as they learn the basic skills of patchwork and
quilting. This small banner was very neatly worked. There were
quite a number of small items like this dotted around the
exhibition.

Several
people had made miniature versions of traditional bed quilts, which were
displayed on tiny wooden beds ( about 30cm long).

On this
course there is also quite a strong emphasis on learning to create your own
designs. This imaginative piece is called 'The Bluebell Wood'.

Japanese
style is very popular in Britain. I noticed several pieces in this
exhibition which had a Japanese theme. I liked the clever use of
materials and stitches used for this quilt.

The gradations of colour in this intricate quilt produce an amazing effect.

One of the
most unusual designs in the exhibition, this interesting quilt was inspired by the ancient
cave paintings of France. Although I love traditional quilts, I also
admire modern design and was very impressed by the imaginative quilts
that people on these courses had produced.
