Lakes District Museum director David Clarke with one of
the quilts in the museum's upcoming exhibition, Illumination.
This quilt is called Illuminated French Curves, by Juliet
Fitness, of Waitakere.
The touring exhibition, which comprises works from members of
the National Association of New Zealand Quilters, was the
result of a "quilt challenge" where the best quilters around
the country were asked to submit entries illustrating the
theme of "illumination", Mr Clarke said.
"The definition of this is the act of lighting up; giving
spiritual or intellectual light to; shedding light or lustre
upon decorating or making bright with light or colour."
The 20 best quilts are touring the country and some are for
sale.
The exhibition opens at the museum tomorrow and runs until
March 28.
