Thank you for voting!
Great news! We have voted and even better news - The Quilters’ Guild project ‘Unfolding the Quilts’ reached the final of the National Lottery Awards. The project is now one of three competing for the title of ‘Best Heritage Project’ and the second round of voting runs from 2 to 26 September.
Being one of the finalists means that the Quilt Museum and Gallery in York, where the project is based, will be featured on the BBC television programme announcing the winners in the autumn. This coverage will make people across the UK more aware of the Quilt Museum and Gallery – and of quilting in general.
The ‘Unfolding the Quilts’ project has supported the Museum and Gallery’s work with young people and the wider community (over 7,000 people since 2008 taking part in quilt-related activities) and also the recruitment and training of volunteers without whom the Museum and Gallery could not operate. For more information about the project see http://www.quiltmuseum.org.uk/blog/quilt-museum-news/01337.html.
