Limited release Festival of Quilts 2026 badge

This year's Festival of Quilts badge is inspired by an interpretation of The Ladies Work Society Coverlet, an appliquéd coverlet from the late 1800s. Established in 1875, the Ladies Work Society was part of the wider Arts and Crafts movement. Led by artists such as William Morris, the movement aimed to promote and encourage architecture and the applied arts as worthy artistic disciplines.  The LWS provided a respectable means of employment for distressed gentlewomen, who had needlework skills and education but no other means of making a living.

Jump the queue - don’t wait until the festival. With only 500 badges available, once they’re gone, they’re gone. Don’t miss out.
