Brother Sewing UK

Festival of Quilts 2018 The Festival of Quilts is Europe’s leading patchwork and quilting event, attracting 24,000 quilters from all over the world. The show is a celebration of quilting in all its forms, with over 300 exhibitors offering essential supplies; professionally curated galleries of quilts from leading international makers; 350 workshops, talks and demos; plus a magnificent display of over 700 competition quilts.
