FOQ23 Collection Talk Lynne Edwards MBE

We are thrilled to offer a series of short gallery talks on our Collections stand at The Festival of Quilts in August 2023. The exhibition, A Diverse Patchwork, celebrates the diversity of our patchwork and quilting community. It recognises the contribution of all makers and artists in creating textile works, continuing the practise and evolution of the crafts and inspiring others to explore and embark on their own textile journeys.
Lynne Edwards, MBE, is an experienced and much-loved quilter, teacher and author - if anyone can inspire you to quilt, Lynne can! Her humour, verve and story-telling prowess are second to none, and she's recently produced a series of 'Essential Skills' tutorials ( • Lynne Edwards MBE Intr... ) in collaboration with The Quilters' Guild, aimed at teaching viewers some of the key skills needed for quilt making. Her work on display, a large Cathedral Windows piece made in 1998, showcases her incredible skill and one of her signature patchwork styles.

Excellent presentation! Inspiration, humor, wisdom, and all delivered in a relatable manner. I would love to see this in person some day.

Thank you so much for sharing this 👍 This talk is inspirational 🤩 Lynne frees us up from all those supposed ‘rules’ of patchwork and quilting - giving us permission to do the things we want 👍 And she’s right - if we don’t know things are difficult and complicated, and someone shows us what to do then we can usually do them 👏👏🇬🇧
