is the meetings with other quilters and unexpected moments ,
Here's Colette, a very gifted quiltartist i meet regularly for more than 30 years now,
she's holding up an antique quilts from Judy, the owner of LABORS OF LOVE.
Judy comes with her husband to the Elsass every year, showing her quilts in an old house in the main street of Ste Marie.
And then we stumbled in to these girls: look at the one in red: you know her don't you?
It's SUPERGOOF, and we chatted for a moment, great fun....
JUDY
Teresa Gai from Pinerolo in Italy and Dominique Husson from the Charente region.
Teresa won several prizes with her quilts.
Dominique organizes every two years a now famous exhibition of traditional quilts in BROUAGE, and you won't regret to attend this event.
On saturday we went to the beautiful town of Colmar,
and in the afternoon
to BLIENSCHWILLER, and visited the Sohler family, they sell their own wines.We tasted them all, and went out slightly tipsy,
after visiting the cellar, with the huge barrels and the central pillar, sevaral hundred years old.
We went back to our base, not empty handed of course.......
to prepare for the final party organised by Petra Prins ,and enjoyed a gorgeous meal, A ROASTED WILD BOAR and other delicous things.
