Visitors flock to enjoy quilt show in Spalding

Most exhibitions aren’t a patchwork on this!

Visitors enjoyed the two-day Springfields Quilt Show in Spalding this weekend, which included displays, workshops and stalls.

“It was very good and always well supported by local quilting groups and people who are interested in going,” said Peter Slater, of organisers Grosvenor Events.

“Around 1,200 to 1,400 people were there, which is great for a small show like that.”

The event, held on Friday and Saturday at Springfields Exhibition Centre, featured displays from well-known quilters and textile artists, demonstrations by experts and a variety of exhibitors selling works and supplies.

Among the feature displays were The Falling Leaves of Autumn by Cabot Quilters, Coast by Exe Valley Quilters, What I did Last Lockdown by Ferret, Intertwined by Jo Avery, Sewing with Joy – a student collective by Pastures New Quilting, Little Coxwell Collection Two by Little Coxwell Quilters, Cathedral Quarter, Lincoln by LINQS and Odyssey & Other Stories by Textile 21.
