We are lucky to be visiting the Kauri Museum in Northland, New Zealand,  in the very last days of  a quilt exhibition that is sharing the museum’s main hall space. Beds have been made up with quilts, quilts have been hung up for display so in effect we can enjoy several exhibitions for the price of one. Let’s take a look around…

There are various techniques on display… this one features Candlewicking (and detail)…

…and here’s the diversity you get when different people put their own interpretion onto the same pattern…

Many of the quilts are hanging  in rows,  easier to see with your eyes than for the camera lens to capture… sorry for the odd angles, I did my best in the space available…
