Our "Lockdown Gallery" began in February 2020 and successfully ran until August 2020. The Gallery provided an outlet for all our creative members to display their projects that were worked on during the covid-19 pandemic, when meetings and gatherings at Abbey Quilters were suspended.
During its' lifetime of 2 1/2 years, the "Lockdown Gallery" was visited over 4000 times and included 604 exhibits; a selection of these are on display below. Viewing visitors were located all over the UK and from as far afield as the USA, Canada, Brazil and New Zealand.
