In Stroud Museum, families are invited to drop in on Saturday May 17 and help create a crazy quilt, and on Sunday May 18 at 2pm, Deidre McSharry talks about Eastern costume. Shop windows hold clues to a textile competition, as well as colourful textile displays and poems. More poems are pasted up around town, and it is good to see many town centre shops are sprucing up their paintwork. And it doesn't all end this month.
