Talking Quilts

I wanted to let you all know that The Quilters Guild of the British Isles Talking Quilts Project is now live on-line.

I was involved both as an Interviewer and an Interviewee  (is that a real word?)

Here are a few pictures of my YK2 Quilt which I was interviewed about.

The link below will take you to the  Wales page which is where all the interviews I took part in are.
You can either read or listen to the interviews and look at pictures of the quilts.


ENJOY!

All these Quilts were made using the Quilt as you Go method.
