It sounds like my sort of museum though, I love quilts although I do seem to spend more time thinking about them and planning rather than making.

It was full of wonderful herbs and beautiful plants. That mut have been at least 15 years ago before we left Bristol. I don't seem to remember too much about the quilts but I'm intrigued by that one with the cigar bands. Another place that will have to go on my list of places to revisit!
