I think I may have mentioned before that for one short weekend in August, Birmingham becomes the centre of the universe - at least as far as textiles are concerned.
And quilting just not have to be two dimensional. One of my favourite sections of the show is always the Quilt Creations section where three dimensional stitched items are displayed. The variety and imagination can be mind blowing. Let the pictures speak for themselves.
