… I just found a link that had me clicking for the last couple of hours. A lot to see – beautiful art quilts, traditional quilts, videos about quilt artists and a lot of information. And this link is

https://quiltnsw.com

It’s the website of QuiltNSW – the Quilter’s Guild of New South Wales in Australia. Not only is this guild running special shows and a lot of challenges but it also plays a major role in the founding and the running of Quilt Australia, the Australian Council of Quilters.

If you just click the link above you come to the landing page where you can see all the quilts of the new special show “The New Quilt 2021”. “The New Quilt 2021 is a juried survey exhibition showcasing the art of quilting that reflects the richness and diversity of contemporary expressions of the quilt medium in Australia.” Be sure to read the artist’s statements to learn what the quilts are about (Covid, the devastating bush fires of last season, but also of nature and the joy of creating).

Click on “Exhibition” in the menu bar and then “The New Quilt” and you will find the catalogue to this exhibit. And if you go right down to the bottom and click on “Miss Grace’s Quilt” you will come to the “Australien Museums and Galleries” where you will find antique quilts with their stories.

Back in the “Exhibition” menu you will find challenges with an abundance of challenge quilts and a link to the Sydney Quilt Show 2019 (as 2020 was cancelled) with all the winning quilts.

If you still have time click “Links” in the menu bar. There you will find their YouTubeChannel with interesting artist talks, a link to the blog and to the Facebook Group and last but not least to the State Guilds of Australia where you can loose yourself in more beautiful quilts and interesting blog articles (i.e. the Canberra Quilter’s site with all the winning quilts of their exhibitions).

Don’t tell me that I didn’t warn you. If you go to this website it’s like Alice following the White Rabbit into Wonderland. I will meet you there.
