Kazakhstan Quilts
by Nava Young & Mandy Hague
After the Prague Show in April 2014, we were asked if some of our members would like to take part in making quilts for the 2015 Prague Show using small samples of fabrics from Kazakhstan. Mandy Hague, our Contemporary Quilt Coordinator, asked members if they would like to take up this challenge and the first 10 people were given the opportunity to enter. Two members from the Channel Islands and the rest from Mainland Britain took part.
The only stipulation was that the quilt had to be 50cm square on a solid coloured background. The quilters were given a choice of black, dark red or dark green. A great variety of quilts were made. These will first be shown at the Prague Patchwork Meeting from 10th to 12th April 2015. Bernina will then show them in Germany, Slovakia, Kazakhstan, and Russia before they are returned to the owners. What an excellent opportunity for our quilts!
