Quilts 1700 - 2010: Hidden Histories, Untold Stories

Estou entusiasmadíssima! Acabo de descobrir que, de 20 de Março a 4 de Julho de 2010, vai estar patente no V&A uma exposição de 65 quilts britânicos, elaborados entre 1700 e os dias de hoje. Os detalhes da exposição podem ser lidos aqui ; o catálogo já está disponível para pre-order na Amazon e em Junho haverá um colóquio de dois dias sobre o tema. Não posso, não quero e não vou perder isto!!
