More Cushy Numbers was a delightful insight into the world of patchwork and quilting.

Returning for a second exhibition, More Cushy Numbers featured work from Northamptonshire patchwork and quilting groups brought together with the help of expert Helen Spence.  They were:

  Hamtune Quilters, Northampton
  Barton Patchers, Earls Barton
  Chapter House Quilters, Weedon
  Higham Piecemakers, Higham Ferrers.

The pieces were all individually made, some were original designs and some were made to patterns designed by others.

Two specialist shops provided kits to purchase and details of courses.  They are:

 The Bramble Patch, Weedon
 The Poppy Patch, Great Doddington.
