Case with geese

I will start new classes in this time, so what's better as a new stuff case?

Two different cute fabrics for the in and the out face...

...and many pockets where to place all my stuff.

The original idea comes from this nice book: Pretty Little Cozies.

EPm: Gee's Bend quilts

Do you know

the gee's bend quilts history?

The quilts are touching and the location of the exhibition charming!

EPm: guest Yoko Saito

I have known this fantastic artist through her books and I have admired her incredible appliquè blocks but to see this amazing quilts live is a great experience.

Her quilts are so so full of great details.

 

European Patchwork meeting

I had a very nice time with my friends and we saw a lot of beautiful quilts.

Today I want to share with you some vibrant and amazing Amish quilts.

But there were many other kind of works from different part of the world....

And this is what I have bought.

Colorful woll fabrics for primitive projects.

...and books,books,books!

Expo

I'm already trilled...Thursday I and 4 friends are going to leave to France to visit the most important patchwork expo in Europe. The meeting location is beautiful, the nice Val d'Argent in Alsace. The village of Saint Marie aux Mine and three little ones near it will become places of expositions for traditional,ancient and modern quilts arrived from all over the word.
And ,of course, there will be a very interesting commercial area.
I will take a lot of pics and I will share with you my fantastic next four days!

New fabrics and Lavinia's update

Do you think I could resist to buy this cute fabrics? Nooo!

About my sweety baby I have some encouraging news. The first radiographic check says that the mandible fracture is okey and the tooth one is starting to knit.

This means that there is a hope she don't have to be operated.

ALL FINGER CROSSED!

Borders

I have added the borders to the Diamond quilt at last and now is ready to be quilted!

Sorry for the bad quality of the colors in my pics but this has been a grey-sky day here.

Paris and peoples

Grande Arc De la Defense

Tour Eiffel

Paris is fantastic.

But the most fantastic spectacle of Paris are peoples. I never have seen a place with so many kinds of peoples living together.

In Paris integration seems to be possible.
