We've got GOOD NEWS! Here's a message from Liz Whitehouse, CEO of The Quilters' Guild:
I would like to pass on a huge "thank you" to everyone who voted for
'Unfolding the Quilts' in the National Lottery Awards. We made it into the
top three in the Heritage section and will now go through to the final, with
voting starting (again...) on 2 September. This will give the Quilt Museum
and Gallery much-needed publicity on national TV. Thanks again to everyone -
we could not have done it without you! We will keep in touch and let
everyone know when we need you to start voting again. With best wishes and
thanks for your support. Liz
The Guild needs as many people as possible to vote for the Museum. You don't have to be a quilter or guild member you just need to be a person interested in the success of the Museum which is the only one of its kind in the United Kingdom; where many museums are currently disposing of textile items or mothballing them.The Guild has checked and people from all over the world may vote. The winning entry will receive additional funding and will be featured on National Television.
