Welsh quilts centre re-opens

THE Welsh Quilt Centre in Lampeter will be reopening in 2020 for a brand new exhibition.

The Magical Quilts of Wales will be a dazzling display of Welsh patchwork, wholecloth and appliqué quilts, dating from 1800-1945, from Jen Jones’s private collection.

The exhibition will run from May 1 to December 24, 2020.

In 2018, Jen Jones, the owner of The Welsh Quilt Centre at The Town Hall, High Street, Lampeter, made the difficult decision to close it.

The museum had hosted a different quilt exhibition every year since its inception in 2009.

Jen decided to close the centre because she wanted to dedicate more time to running her cottage shop in Llanybydder.
