WOW: On The Road

WOW = WIPs On Wednesdays  

I'm currently on the road

'Where to?'  

 

To Brisbane, to see the V&A Quilt Exhibition
1700-1945

Exploring over 200 years of British quilt making

Exhibition organised by the Victoria & Albert Museum, London

 

I wasn't going to go, Brisbane is far away and it's a big chunk of time to lose, but since starting Love Entwined I feel compelled to see what I can of the era's quilts so that I can visualise amongst real quilts of the era what I think I saw when I spent so much time studying the original. I just had to find the time and go. I need to see these quilts myself, and most importantly, their authentic fabrics with my own eyes and this exhibition (which baffles me) isn't coming to Melbourne!

 

Since I launched Love Entwined, it's interesting how much Georgian I keep coming across. Like this hotel room, selected randomly as we drove. Of course, its the "Georgian Suite!" I think the only Georgian thing about it is the inspired green wall here.

 

 

Can't wait to see this exhibit and let you know what I think, fabric wise.

 WOW is extra early today as I will be on the road and out of wifi range.

 

What's Your WOW ?
