Gallery 2

Little Beds- Small Quilts

Opening 18th March 2023

Vivuen at work

Vivien Finch has collected and restored nearly 30 doll beds and cribs over 20 years. Most are from the British Isles, a handful from Europe and a couple from the USA. Bedding made from old linens, small quilts stitched from fabric scraps leftover over from larger projects have kept Vivien busy, particularly during Covid ‘house arrest’.

The collection will be displayed in Gallery 2 from 18 March 2023, alongside ‘Lockdown with Laura’ quilts made from Vivien’s stash of vintage Laura Ashley fabrics.
