The 16th January meeting was the Contemporary Quilt suitcase collection 'On the Road' presented by Judy Fairless


 




 Every 2 years the Contemporary Quilts group within the Quilters Guild work to a theme and make a collection of A3 size quilts which are put into a suitcase, this then goes on tour. The latest theme was 'On the Road' and our presentation was the first time this collection had been viewed. The interpretation of the theme was very varied including maps, roads, political statements on diverse aspects including refugees, use of animals to pay school fees, road signs, grids, furniture etc. Quilts on display featured a range of creative techniques and decoration.



 This was Judy Fairless' own quilt inspired by a cover of a road grid
