The credit for this article should really go to Philip Jacobs as he forwarded me the information and also gave me free access to his photographs. All I did was put it in the appropriate format for posting on UKQU. More to come though and we do have some interesting ideas and posts coming up. As they say Watch This Space.

Beautiful, inspiring and interesting. Thank you 🙂

Update: This quilt did get accepted for Festival of Quilts 1718 gallery. I did finish the quilting in good time, and it is now packed up for sending. I am sure my friends are going to get thoroughly bored with 20 or more different variations of “selfie in front of quilt” next month!

As May is themed as baby month I’d thought I’d talk about memory quilts. Those quilts made from the clothes and fabrics that remind us of past times; the babygrow that you brought them home from hospital in, the fir…
