As always with morsbags, the aim is funky functionality, so don't panic if you're not a pro-quilter.... please do still enter the fun and the judging won't all be technical...

Prize for most inventive Quilted Morsbag = 1 pair of tickets to the Quilts Exhibition at the V&A!!
The Exhibition runs from the 20th March to the 4th of July 2010 so you can use your tickets any time.... I know many morsbaggers don't live in London but how about making a day of it with a friend and come to the Big Smoke?
"The V&A will present its first ever exhibition of British quilts, with examples dating from 1700 to the present day - a unique opportunity to view the V&A's unseen quilt collection as well as key national loans. Earliest examples include a sumptuous silk and velvet bedcover, with an oral narrative that links it to King Charles II's visit to an Exeter manor house in the late 17th century. Recent examples will include works by leading artists such as Grayson Perry and Tracey Emin and commissions for the exhibition by a number of contemporary artists including Sue Stockwell and Caren Garfen."
10.00 to 17.45 daily
10.00 to 22.00 Fridays
