The video shows how learners have used a number of techniques including appliqué and embroidery to create beautiful quilts inspired by land, sea and cityscapes as well as one quilt inspired by antique chairs and sofas and chandeliers. Several traditional patchwork quilts were displayed in the exhibition, each one created using carefully combined colour, pattern and geometric shape.

The Tutors are Hazel Ryder and Terry Donaldson.
