The Big 24 Quilt Show

 

Not long now until The Big 24 exhibition at Blackthorpe Barns, Rougham, Bury St Edmunds IP30 9HZ

This event is organised by region 8 (Suffolk and Essex) of the Quilters' Guild and will be a huge celebration of quilting and textile art from this region. 

There are 28 textile groups affiliated to region 8 - more than any other region - and 19 of them will be exhibiting at the Big 24 show.

I will have work on show as two of these groups; Out of the Fold and Spotlight Textiles




Out of the Fold will show their collection of handmade fans first seen as part of the 'Unfolding' exhibition











Spotlight Textiles are showing a joint piece inspired by an image of Framlingham Castle. Handing over my 'slice' was the last thing I did before leaving this group so I am looking forward to seeing the completed hanging at the show!


There are also almost 100 quilts on display from members throughout the region and I will have two pieces in the main show. Plus ten traders, tombola, raffle and refreshments. Lots of see, win and buy. Bring cash!

The show runs from Friday 26th - Sun 28th April, 10am - 4pm each day

Entry £5
