The author of the Girl with a Pearl Earring, Tracy Chevalier, met with the curator of the Victoria & Albert museum to work on a commissioned article for the V&A Magazine. It turns out that Tracy was also going to begin some quilt research of her own on for an upcoming book on Quaker immigrants. To learn more about quilts, Tracy visited the textile store at Blythe House where she met Quilts curator Sue Prichard.
Tracy was commissioned to write the article to mark the opening of Quilts: 1700 - 2010, which is no longer at the museum. However, you can download an App which allows you to view some of the quilts, click here to learn more about the app.
