Quilter's Quips and Tips: The Quilter's Guild of the British Isles Needs Your Vote!

An excellent quilter and great friend, Rebecca Collins, is asking for help from TQS members to aid the Quilter's Guild of the British Isles in their effort to facilitate the setting up of the Quilt Museum in York.

The Museum opened almost three years ago with a Museum Director as its first staff member. A short time later, they heard that an application to the Lottery Heritage Fund had been successful. For an application to be successful; very full details of what will be done must be given and these must later be adhered to. The project was named 'Unfolding the Quilts' and its aim was to introduce as many people as possible to what the Museum could offer.

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.
