‘Sewing in Wartime’ and ‘Under African Skies’
When it comes to ‘Make Do and Mend’ wartime quilts can divulge some interesting stories. And, one of these begins in Canada!
During World War II, when the bombing of British cities was at its height, Canadian needlewomen made and donated some 25,000 quilts to British war relief. The quilts, often in red, white and blue or with special ‘V for Victory’ printed fabric, were gathered in Canada by the Canadian Red Cross Society and distributed in Britain by the Salvation Army, the ARP (later Civil Defence) and the WVS (now WRVS). Although many carried the names of the individuals or groups, most had a label which said: ‘Gift of CANADIAN RED CROSS SOCIETY|. Many have survived and a selection of these will be included in the Quilt Museum’s exhibition ‘ Sewing in Wartime, opening on 10 July.
‘Under African Skies’, the second exhibition, is the story of one quilter’s 10-year journey to source African fabrics. Magie Relph often spends up to eight weeks each year ‘on the road’ in Africa riding crowded buses and the occasional horse-drawn cart visiting suppliers and sourcing new artisan producers. What started as a hobby has developed into a small fairtrade business, supplying those British quilters and textile artists who also have a fascination with unusual fabrics.
‘Under African Skies’
‘When I started selling a few fat quarters of African fabric out of a suitcase to my quilt group,’ recalls Magie, ‘I had no idea that ten years later I would be seeing so many wonderful creations made using African fabrics.’ Fabrics sourced by Magie include hand-dyed batiks, resist dyed Indigo, Kola nut and Indigo and traditional mud cloth as well as wax prints and Shwe Shwe Indigo.
The exhibition will include a selection of quilts made with African fabrics and also displays of the fabrics themselves and information about their provenance and makers.

Janet Bolton, internationally renowned textile artist from England, composes textile pictures using the simplest of hand-sewing techniques. Her work is in the permanent collections of the British Craft Council, the British Council and the Embroiderers Guild.
Janet will introduce students to working directly with chosen fabrics to create a composition, rather than working from sketches. This approach permits a wonderful freedom, while at the same time allowing for complete accuracy of intent.
