Don't miss the exhibition. It was fantastic in London. I love every minute I spent in V&A.

How wonderful for you all. Like Anne-Mettes, I was lucky enough to see the exhibition at the V&A and wished I'd been able to go again.

I am definitely planning a trip up to Brissie to see this – I just bought the latest Down Under quilts magazine which has a feature on the Rajah quilt in it too.

I'm flying up for a weekend with a group of quilter friends to see the exhibition. It's so great that the exhibition has come to our shores. Can't wait to see all those gorgeous quilts.

I was lucky enough to see this exhibition in London, the most surprising was the fabric by Grayson Perry, I was underwhelmed by the piece by Tracy Emin. There was so much to see in between, enjoy!
