The Challenge

The 14th annual celebration of Quiltfest will be held in Llangollen in February 2015 and we are inviting hangings to be submitted for this event from members of Region 13 and members of the Contemporary Quilt group.  The exhibition will be held from Wednesday 4th February until Friday 13th February 2015 in the gallery at the International Pavilion in Llangollen. 

The theme for entry is “I like region 13 because…..”

Entry forms must be received by 23rd November 2014 and completed hangings received by 18th January 2015

All the details of the challenge and the entry form can be found here



We welcome entries from all members of Contemporary Quilt group. 

Region 13 occupies a large geographical area from Anglesey and the Lleyn peninsular of Wales in the West to the Cheshire Peak District and Pennine Lancashire in the East and the shores of Morecambe Bay in the North. It includes the Isle of Man and the large cities of Manchester and Liverpool. 

Many of you may have had some contact with this region - perhaps a holiday by the seaside when you were a child, visiting Liverpool, Manchester or Chester for a weekend or even living here at some time during your life.  Please consider this challenge and enter an A4 hanging.  

Quiltfest has been instrumental in presenting quilters and fabric artists working at the cutting edge of quilt making during the past 14 years and has become a highly anticipated event each year in Llangollen. So please help to make 2015 another exciting exhibition - we welcome your support.  

A selection of work from the Dislocation collection will be on display at the Museum & Art Gallery, also in Llangollen.
