Small exhibition in the UK
#1
I have just come back from visiting friends in the UK and was able to go to a small exhibition whilst I was there.
The group of quilters, numbering about 15, almost all come from a small village south of Norwich, Norfolk, and put up their exhibition in the central hall of a group of Alms Houses in the village.
They kindly allowed me to take pics, though I apologise that I wasn't able to get back far enough sometimes, to get the whole quilt in.

I liked to many of them :)
I love the brick buildings; they are gorgeous.

Thank you so much for the pics. I love the fact that a small group of ladies from the same village put together this show for everyone to enjoy. Only wish I was there to see all their wonderful quilts in person.
