Quilt Museum and Gallery
The Quilt Museum and Gallery is Britain's first museum dedicated to quiltmaking and textile arts.
The Museum is managed by The Quilters' Guild of the British Isles, an educational charity founded in 1979. Our aim is to promote the crafts of patchwork, appliqué and quilting through exhibitions of historic and contemporary textiles and an associated educational programme for all ages. The Quilt Museum and Gallery is independently funded through admissions, grants and donations.
