Quilts

 On Saturday, September 14th, went to the villages, Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, Liepvre and Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines to look at the many quilt exhibitions. They were amazing. I especially loved the little houses!





































There was also a special exhibition of African embroideries which were very lovely.

Patchwork on the Rhine Tour

 I am home from a wonderful time away in Europe. The jetlag is slowly going away and I really need to share all the lovely places we have visited. We flew out on Wednesday and arrived in Frankfurt on Thursday morning. We then, feeling pretty awful, got on a bus and went to Obernai. We had a lunch stop in Strasburg which was pretty delicious. Obernai is a very cute town and we had a wander around before an early night.












The next two days were spent at the European Patchwork meeting which was amazing. We loved the variety of stalls and the wonderful quilts on display in churches and buildings in other villages.





Lovely to see Jane from Bebe bold there.




We had a little introduction to our projects for the trip and received the rest of our kits. 

I will share the quilts next time.
