A Quilted Bridge: The Amish-Welsh Connection
Mon. February 13, 2012
An exhibition of Welsh and Amish quilts is about to open from 10 March to 3 November 2012, at the The Welsh Quilt Centre in Lampeter. This exhibition is a rare opportunity to see and compare these two historic quilting traditions. Side by side are hung stunning antique American Amish quilts and the fabulous, strong early geometric flannel patchworks from Wales. Was the similarity influence or coincidence?
