Quilts at QAGOMA

While I was browsing the QAGOMA website, I had a look at what's coming up.  They always have great programs, which is one of the reasons I'm a QAGOMA member.  From 15 June - 22 September, QAG is exhibiting, in collaboration with the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), 'Quilts 1799-1945'.  The V&A museum sell beautiful fabrics on their site and I'm hoping that the exhibition might bring some to the QAGOMA gift store.

The Rajah quilt, 1841, from the National Gallery of Australia Collection, Canberra.

To compliment the 'Quilts 1799-1945' exhibition, from 13 July - 6 October, QAG is showing another quilt exhibition, this time of a Brisbane local, 'Ruth Stoneley: A Stitch in Time'.  Ruth Stoneley had a quilting shop in highgate hill and the exhibition includes her quilts and also shows some of her processes.

Quilt:It's not all sweetness and light, 1983, from the Queensland Art Gallery Collection.

Can't wait for June/July to see them!
