Torre Abbey

Back to Torquay and Torre Abbey next door to the centre where there was an exhibition of quilts from the Quilters' Guild collection both old and new, as the Guild seeks to collect or commission works by significant quilters. Deirdre Amsden, Dinah Travis, Pauline Burbidge and Sara Impey were represented here.
