Mr Monkey trotted along to Peasholme Green, where St. Anthony's Hall houses the museum and headquarters of the Quilters Guild of the British Isles. The medieval guildhall has been labelled with a Q so that everyone knows it's full of quilts. Mr Monkey went inside, found out about the building and saw a temporary exhibition displaying a collection of quilts sewn during the Second World War. Many of them - including the one using patches of material covered in V for Victory symbols shown above - were sewn in Canada and distributed to bombed-out families in Britain.
Photography isn't allowed inside the museum and gallery so the second picture shows Mr Monkey standing in front a postcard of a quilt from the exhibition.
You can read about the museum at the Quilt Museum and Gallery website.
