Lynne Edwards: A Lifetime in Quilts
Lynne Edwards, MBE, describes herself as "a teacher who quilts, rather than a quilter who teaches" and has spent more than 45 years making quilts. She has written several books, and her work is absolutely amazing - and this exhibition was a rare chance to see a selection of her quilts. I especially loved the "Blue Lily" quilt, and her quilts made using the Cathedral Windows technique were stunning. Lynne has written several books (I have a few on my bookshelf - The Sampler Quilt Book, Cathedral Windows Quilts, and Stash-buster Quilts) and has been a fabulous inspiration to quilters. If you click on the pictures below they will enlarge. The lighting wasn't particularly good over several of the displays at the show, but these quilts were absolutely stunning. Lynne was absolutely lovely too, and very generous with her time, chatting to quilters and offering advice! While I was admiring these quilts, I saw Verona (from Sew and So's at Bungay) who was helping on the stand with Lynne. I really must make another visit up again there soon!!
