Quite a quilting quest!

One of my absolute favourite presents this past Christmas was the quilt my sister made for me. I couldn't fit the whole thing into one photo as it's pretty big but you can see how pretty it is from these pictures. I've always wanted one and I just love it!

Then as if by some strange coincidence there was a quilting exhibition on last week in Llangollen! I went with my Mum not really knowing what to expect and I was amazed by the detail and time that had gone into these quilts. It was put on by the Gresford Craft Group and the Wrexham Quilting Circle, and was on display in both the Llangollen Museum and the Llangollen Pavilion. Below are a selection of just some of the quilts, with special mention to a few of my favourite ones.

Quilts!

This was my favourite one (I think so, there were so many beautiful quilts I still can't make up my mind!). I can't remember the name of it exactly but it was something like 'Dancing to the Flute', and I just think it is a wonderfully joyful scene. full of vibrant colours and interesting characters.

I love this quilt too. I love the mix of bright colours against dark, and the stitching on this is insane! I took a couple of close ups of some of the detailing but it really doesn't capture just how much detail there was on this quilt. It must have taken years to make this!

This quilt is just all kinds of amazing! Not only is it beautifully stitched it's also a very accomplished ocean scene, as though it had been painted. It's difficult to make out from this photo but there are some seals sunbathing on the rocks in the sea. Can't you almost feel the ocean breeze against your cheek?
