It ranged from some quilt tops and coverlets, like this one (sorry, can't remember the date) and other items, including this beautiful embroidered 17th or 18th century bodice, 
to this newspaper log cabin 'quilt' and embroidered box,
a Kantha work quilt on the subject of gardening,
a knitted sheep in wolf's clothing,
fabric specially printed for George the whatsits coronation (details were never my strong point!)
an Afghan war rug and lots of other things besides. If you're in the north of England and haven't seen this exhibition, you have until 19th July to see, and I strongly recommend it to you! And then when I got home, there was a parcel from up the Amazon! 
It was the copy of Tonya's new book which DH had ordered for me for Christmas! I was so pelased to get it finally, and it was the perfect ending to a perfect day!
