Welcome to the Quilt Museum and Gallery website
The Quilt Museum and Gallery is Britain's first museum dedicated to quilt making and textile arts.
Situated in the medieval guildhall of St Anthony in Peasholme Green, York, the Quilt Museum and Gallery is home to The Quilters' Guild of the British Isles and its world-famous Heritage Quilt Collection.
Current exhibitions: 25th April - 29th August 2009
'Pearls, Pearls, Pearls' celebrates the 30th anniversary of The Quilters' Guild of the British Isles with a juried exhibition of Guild members work. Pieces of work range in size, colour and design, but all are beautiful pieces that show the creativity and talent of their makers.
The Wholecloth Tradition explores the techniques, history and motifs used in wholecloth quilting, concentrating on the North Country wholecloth style. On display are several pieces of Amy Emms' work, including a small case of her tools and some smaller pieces.
