My third
blogpost about April, and my second about the quilt show in Nantes, Pour
l’amour du Fil.
Last blogpost
I shared a few of my favorite exhibitions, but there was so much more to see ….
and to do!
There were the
booths,
at Petra Prins’ (click) , always beautiful and so much inspiration:-
also ‘across the street’
at Den Haan & Wagenmakers (click):-
and beautiful
colors everywhere:-
Quilters do
not (just) see a lovely dress at this booth…..
…but vintage
fabric!
Quilt shows
are a great opportunity to meet people, the ones you meet in person for the
first time:

There were more
quilts to see other than the ones in the exhibitions, like the lovely and quilt
Arlington Square by Emma Mary Newman of Emma Mary Designs (click) which could
be seen in the Bloggers Corner.
Emma is also the owner of the Queen of Fabric shop (click) in Melbourne.
You can find the pattern for this quilt in Quiltmania #130.

Design talent
runs in Emma’s family as she is the daughter of Judy Newman (click) , whose
latest quilt Strafford Manor was in Quiltmania’s booth, scroll down for more
With all this walking,
talking, meeting people, visiting the exhibitions, you need a break now and
then and some yummy food!
Our energy levels restored after that great quiche Emma
(click) and I attended Judy’s (click) workshop, the Strafford Manor quilt you saw before,
isn’t is beautiful?
Applique tips
and tricks!
After a fabulous
few days in Nantes and at this show, we were sad to leave, but this was not the
end of my quilting adventures in April!
More in my
next blogpost, hope to meet you again here!
