A Virtual Visit to The Welsh Quilt Centre

Linzee McCray at the Moda Fabrics blog takes you on a virtual tour of the Welsh Quilt Centre. The Centre was opened to celebrate and promote a wider understanding of the Welsh quilt. The idea came from Jen Jones, whose obsession with collecting Welsh quilts, blankets, and textiles has spanned over forty years.

All but one of the quilts on display were whole cloth quilts and most were stitched as part of an initiative by the Rural Industries Bureau of Wales in the late 1920s through 1939.

Thanks for featuring this video on TQS blog. It was on my list of places to visit in the UK but a bit off the beaten path so never quite got there. Sorry to see it had to close but I hope the collection will go on tour. Welsh quilts are beautiful!

Thank you for this wonderful virtual tour, sadly the Welsh Quilt Centre closed at the end of October this year. I was fortunate to have been able to visit their final exhibition of breathtaking quilts.
I understand from Jen Jones that the collection will be kept together and will ‘go on tour’. It might even be coming to a town near you soon!
