Sorry about the title – it’s a bit naff imho, but that is what the Guardian chose to title the gallery of photos showing the work of inmates in Her Majesty’s Prisons. You can see the finished quilt ‘Wandsworth Quilt’ made by inmates at HMP Wandsworth that was produced on commission for the V&A Exhibition Quilts 1700-2010 as I posted about last December. I know I keep returning to this topic, but it caught my imagination somehow.
In the gallery there was a link to the website of Fine Cell Work. It is certainly worth a visit. There is some very fine needlework displayed there. If you are looking for a gift for someone who appreciates handwork you might well find one there. The testimonials are positive. I have to admit to being tempted by the needlepoint and tapestry kits. There are some lovely designs.
