FREE Tasters (Quilting) • Educational, G, 01-Dec-2014
In this lovely house Jen houses the largest collection & stock of Antique Welsh Quilts and Welsh Blankets anywhere in the World.
They have a constantly changing stock of over a thousand quilts and blankets mostly made between 1820 and 1939 and as they were hand made, each is unique.
