Quilts from Western Australia

We've missed a lot of quilt exhibitions this year, but some groups are beginning to be able to hold their events, even if they are in a modified form, and have been generous in sharing them online:

The Western Australian Quilters Association has posted a gallery of photos from their Rajah Quilt Revisited project:

The ladies gave their own twist or followed as closely as possible the history of the Rajah quilt that was made by women convicts bound for  Tasmania,  so long ago.  They gave themselves two years to complete their quilts.  These quilts were going to be shown at our annual Quiltwest exhibition, however with Quiltwest not happening in May, we are delighted that we could view them at our AGM.

WAQA have held their exhibition 'COVID Quilt West 2020' this past weekend, and posted a 32 minute video of just some of the beautiful quilts hanging. Photos will be posted over the coming days.

Congratulation on staging your show WAQA - it must have been a busy week!
