Festival of Quilts 2021

A very much smaller event was held at the NEC this year due to the pandemic. This was the first event to be held after the national opening of restrictions and although there were half the number of quilts on show and many fewer traders, it was extremely successful; there were no queues, plenty of places to sit and lots of space around the quilts.

Here are the quilts which were entered from Region 13 - congratulations to you all!
