quilts 1700-2010

Yesterday I went with my quiltingfriends Ellen and Isabeau to London, to see the Quilts in the V&A( Victoria and AlbertMuseum)
It was great, what a beautiful quilts.

When you go, I think you must take the Ipod with the info of the quilts.
You can buy the APP in the Itunes store and you can download it on your Iphone.
So when You cannot go and have an Iphone, you can see some quilts.



I had troubles to make pictures of the book and place them on this blog they turn wrong??
but here are some of them.
