Heres a link to the Midsomer Quiltings Man Made exhibition held last year which I attended with Puzzler. They have made a video to show all of the quilts ... You can enlarge the video to fill the screen but there doesnt seem to be any sound...

ENJOY!!!!

Yes WOW!

The two that really impressed me were 74 and 88 by Peter Hayward - based on Vasarely designs.  They must have been FPP to get the varying sizes so well.

Yes - they are incredible.

I was thinking a few days ago that we have quite a few men around here, but none of them quilt (as far as I know) - although we are grooming @TartanPaint of course.   :devil:

@Iminei

Wasn't this a program on the telly years ago with John Nettles? Tiny little village but everyone who lived there had massive houses, no visible means of income and were busy murdering each other to death. His friends we boring but his wife was nice.

Very nice quilts, though. My impetus has stalled somewhat lately. With the restrictions being lifted slowly but surely I'm getting hammered with meetings and projects. Don't be mad at me. I'll get back to abusing fabric soon.  :)

@Acorn

Glad some of you are finally acknowledging the part you're all too keenly taking in my ongoing bankruptcy. Just this morning I went to check my balance and I only had money for one more machine.... :laughing:

There are some amazing quilts there and what a huge emporium.

Thanks for that @Iminei. There were some lovely quilts there and it’s been such a while since I’ve had the opportunity to go around a quilt exhibition. The video was a very peaceful watch too.

Thanks for the link @Iminei, some really good stuff, inspiring. I passed the link onto a quilting friend and she enjoyed it too, I missed not being able to go to Quiltfest this year although there was something online so this made up for it.
