Not sure this is the correct subtopic, but I will be in London Sat night and Sun morning, Sept 3rd & 4th. I'm new to the quilting board, from Suwanee, GA and been quilting about 12 years. Needle turned applique is my favorite, but I love the challenge of a new pattern.

Hope I can hook up with another quilter while in London!

Can't help you there, but while in London if you have time a must see is the Victoria & Albert Museum. Quilts, tapestries, needlework, clothing ...

I personally haven't made it there YET, so far every time I get there other things get in the way, and the one time we made a plan to visit this museum they were closed (it was boxing day).

Hubby tells me every time though that if I go to *one* museum in London, choose the V&A.

Check with the V&A that the textuile section will be open. they are undergoing some reorganisation at the moment and I believe that they have temporarily closed this section. Contact them through their site.

Welcome from Washington State. You are going to enjoy yourself here. We would love to see some of your quilts! I was in London 4 years ago and can't wait to go back for a longer visit. :) I was there a month. Welcome.
