2008 Festival of Quilts Commemorative DVD • Image Catalogue
The Festival of Quilts is Europe's favorite destination for quilting and textile arts. Each year more than 25,000 quilting and textile artists and enthusiasts come from all over the world to judge and be judged by a panel of their peers in what has come to be regarded as 'the most prestigious quilting award ceremony in Europe today'.
From over 1,000 entrants, over 30 will be awarded a first, second or third prize and new this year, there will be a Best in Show award. Categories include Art Quilts, Contemporary Quilts, Traditional Quilts, Miniatures and many more. More than $50,000 in prize money is generously given by leading manufacturers of sewing, quilting and textile art supplies, educational institutions, and associations.
Galli Film Studios is proud to be selected as the film production company for the 2008 Festival of Quilts Commemorative DVD. For 2008, we assembled a wonderful cross-mix of traditional and contemporary quilting and textile artists, and we ventured north of Birmingham to Yorkshire where we caught up with Lilian Hedley, Philippa Naylor, and took a private tour of the recently opened Museum of The Quilter's Guild of the British Isles, located in a 14th Century Guild Hall in York.
Join Leslie Morgan and Claire Benn, narrators of this wonderful DVD, on a tour of the 2008 Festival of Quilts -- Europe's largest annual quilting event.
Includes High Resolution Images of all the winning quilts, quilting inspirations, and bonus extras such as magazine articles and leading sources of supplies for all your quilting needs!
