Nantes

If i'm late with showing you pics from the exhibition , it's because i'm still struggling with Windows 8.1 on my brand new computer . Sky drive and other ghosts hount my days and nights , and that's also why you see my hexagon quilt first , while i intended this pic for the end of the posting , sorry for that...
 

A part of a lovely basket quilt , from the Quiltmania collection .
This sweet Japanese lady works with tiny bits and pièces she recycles in quilts, bags , and floorcloths .
I observed her for a while , she was incredibly quiet , answering our question with a little helper.
Quiltmania  published an article about her in the issue 100 ...







Some nice antique quilts and tops on the stand of Jane Lury and her husband , i know how fortunate we are in Europe with these real troopers , who come  for all the major quilt events  every year.













Michelle Yeo and Carolyn Konig came with their wonderful quilts , and i bought their books without a single moment of hesitation , Australian quilters are awesome , they make masterpieces !

Louise-Marie Stipon in front of one of her most impressive quilts .
Louise-Marie is one the Brouage quilters and had a retrospective of het long quilting career .



Another detail of Louise-Marie's logcabin , one block is not bigger than 3 inches ....
I stayed for only 1 day , so i missed the evening with Joes and Isabeau , bad idea , next year a longer stay i hope, with the help of a special piggy bank...
Take care , Will V in Paris.

Beautiful photos of gorgeous quits. Your hexagon quilt is a masterpiece! I completely agree with you regarding the masterpieces created by the Australian quilters. I am also delighted to see ML Stipon for the first time. I am an inconditional admirer fo her masterpieces and her handquilting. That is why I try not to miss any Brouage exhibition as the quilters participating are a source of inspiration to me.

The best set of pictures of the show that I have seen so far (probably because our tastes are similar) Thanks for showing so many of them!

Your hexagon quilts is gorgeous! Those quilts in the exhibit are beautiful. I loved seeing pictures of that sweet Japanese lady and her work. Heavily stitched piece made me feel as if I have died and gone to heaven. Thank you so much for sharing all the pictures.
