@ The Welsh Quilt Centre, The Old Town Hall, High Street,...
Attendees: @Jen Jones
This is the venue to see, enjoy and participate in Wales’ rich quilt making heritage. The centre includes an annual quilt exhibition, gallery shop, workshops and a café-deli.
Our current exhibition running until November 2012 is: A Quilted Bridge -The Amish Welsh Connection. This remarkable juxtaposition of strong, bold flannel and fine wool geometric patchworks from 19th century Wales and Amish America will allow visitors to view, study and draw their own conclusions as to who influenced whom when and where. Bold and beautiful quilts from the world renowned collections of Jen Jones and the American Museum in Bath are on display. The Welsh and Amish lived side by side in America. But is this reflected in their textiles?
