Hearty Quilters Show

Hearty Quilters were formed to make charity quilts and raise funds for the Heart of Kent Hospice.
Hearty Quilters

They hold a Quilt Show annually, this time in a huge medieval barn attached to Aylesford Priory in a picturesque village near Maidstone. Quilts were crammed everywhere. My visitors choice vote went to Tony's Ties by Bernie Connolly which included many of her husband's ties. I was also pleased to see a quilt made from Katharine Guerrier's Galaxy of Stars pattern.
The "Lasagne" quilt from simple strips was made by Claudia Taylor inspired by Mary Fogg's work and included wondefully varied fabrics including chenille and corduroy while Jeanette Twort's "Loosely Japanese" cabblestones type quilt was based on a Susan Briscoe design.
