W3haus launches 2 Social Media ready interactives for the V&A Quilts Exhibition!
28 Apr 2010

We have created two social media ready interactives to promote the Victoria and Albert Museum’s exhibition Quilts 1700 – 2010, which is open from 20 March to 4 July 2010.

We were tasked with creating web features to foster awareness and excitement around the exhibition, within the ever-expanding quilting community in the UK and across the world.

“W3Haus have produced two excellent web features to support the exhibition brief. They are easy to use, their simple elegant design belies a complex technical functionality and they unobtrusively integrate current social media features to allow visible discussion and encourage sharing. I am very pleased with their work on this project”

Andrew Lewis, Senior Web Content Manager, V&A

Quilt of Quilts

http://www.vam.ac.uk/quiltofquilts

For the first phase of the campaign, we developed an online feature for the V&A website to enable quilters to share their work and in doing so to create a user-generated gallery of quilts from around the world in the form of an ever increasing quilt – the Quilt of Quilts.

This feature showcases many wonderful and interesting quilts from around the world, and the stories and history behind them. The location can be indicated through an embedded Google map and the feature takes full advantage of the latest technologies, allowing visitors to browse for quilts by colour, location and year of creation as well as a standard keyword search.

There are facilities to rate and comment upon quilts with other users. This is further supported by features that allow sharing to platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and blogs, to extend the reach to quilting communities and other target audiences active on the wider web as well as on the V&A website.

The Quilt of Quilts was launched in March, and is already proving to be a huge success with over 350 quilts contributed in the first 3 weeks. The Quilt of Quilts will remain open throughout the exhibition and will continue as a permanent feature after the exhibition closes.

Patchwork Pattern Maker

http://www.vam.ac.uk/patchworkpatternmaker
The Patchwork Pattern maker was launched at the end of April as an online pattern-making tool, allowing visitors to create their own, bespoke quilts. Users are invited to upload any image of their choice, which is then transformed into a quilting pattern complete with instructions.
The tool aims to generate more interest around quilting by providing an invaluable tool for people whether they are experienced quilting experts, or people who have never made a quilt before, but are inspired to do so by the exhibition.
