Tracy Chevalier curates quilt exhibition

If you have read Tracy Chevalier's novels (The Girl with the Pearl Earring, Remarkable Creatures, for example), you will know that she does meticulous research. For her latest book, The Last Runaway, she learned about quilts, including how to make one.

She has followed up by curating Things we do in bed, a quilt exhibition open from 1st April to 31st October, in a Georgian house just outside of London.  If you are in the UK during this time, it looks intriguing.
