Not Quite Finished for FOQ!
So there you are – I’ve admitted it! I entered a piece – in a year with record numbers, fortunately – but It Won’t Be Finished. Oh no, I hear you say, it’s only July xx, you’ve still got time, especially as you’ll be taking it down on July 27th…
About Quiltfest North 2026
About the very successful Quiltfest North 2026.
Inspirational
That was a visitor comment heard during Quilt Fest North at Astley Hall in Chorley. We saw fantastic attendance at Quilt Fest North, which this year focussed on modern, contemporary and art quilts. We had plenty of talent on show with award winning work, and it was a celebration of patchwork and quilting in the broadest sense of the art and craft. To educate and inspire are key aims for The Quilters’ Guild, and Region 13 certainly did this.
Carrefour Européen de Patchwork: reflections on a visit, by Carol Fieldhouse
I went to the 30 th anniversary edition of this show, which I have seen advertised and read reports on for many years, as the UK rep on the EQA – the European Quilt Association, here to run the exhibition of the 500 + “Contrast” quilts - each 35cm square submitted by quilters from Iceland to Ukraine. These are my personal reflections…Btw, I think our EQA exhibit was one of the best things at the Alsace show this year! An explosion of colour, ideas and contrasting styles - I loved it!
Beartown Patchwork & Quilters 'Meet the Neighbours'
Beartown Patchwork & Quilters like to meet their neighbours from time to time by inviting a local group to come and show us their quilts and we go back to show them ours. It's a great way to spend an evening.

Quilters’ Guild of the British Isles Sapphire Street, Region 13 entries. These blocks are part of the UK wide Sapphire Street project run by the Quilters Guild of the British Isle. As they probably won't be next to each other in the completed quilt we would like to show you Region 13 entries.
