I recently joined the group Contemporary Quilters  West,  a group of 14 contemporary and art quilters based in the Wiltshire, Bath, Bristol and Somerset areas.  We are all members of the Quilters Guild and most of us are members of the internet based Contemporary Quilt Group.  
I am delighted to say that at least 5 of the group have work on display at the Festival of Quilts this year, starting today.

Unfortunately I am not in the UK at the moment, so am not going to be able to attend - but thanks to the wonders of the internet, Facebook, Twitter etc. I hope to see many of the quilts, at least on my screen.

If you are lucky enough to be going, do look out for the work of Chrisse Seager, Alicia Merrett, Judy Stevens, Kathryn Chambers, all members of Contemporary Quilters West. Clicking on their names will take you to their respective blogs or websites where you can see more of their work. I have also added some images below.
