So much to think about now.

Thank you to the @peacemuseumuk for giving me access to some amazing banners from the Greenham Common Peace Camp today.

Another great session at the BQSG seminar.
@joethequilter took us through his Quilting Life. Lots of inspiration for the future.
Thanks to @thequiltersguild and #qgbibqsg

Excellent talk from Helen of the @bradfordtextiles to the British Quilt Study Group seminar. We’ll be visiting the archive for a study day in the Spring.

An excellent morning diving into the Quilters Guild Collection to look at three of their Canadian Red Cross quilts. Each with a story to tell, we know a little but it would be lovely to know more.
