Polly has sent over some more pictures during the night. The only description I have for this one is the Quiltmania booth. It looks intriguing. I sure wish I had that tent.
This is the house of the sweet Anni Downs. Anni and I were at a retreat together a few years ago. Hi Anni!
And these are from Akiko Ike's house. These are lovely and fascinating.
Reiko Kato has had many projects in Quiltmania. This one is amazing and a bit different from her usual art pieces.
She famously uses Sunbonnet Sue in many guises and forms…..
Oh looky! there is even a quilt by me. Quiltmania has a special exhibit honoring their 100 issues of their magazine. Rambling Rose was chosen to be in this exhibit.
Have you seen the new 100th issue of Quiltmania. I urge you to get it. Not only will there be articles and more photos of the previous artists in Nantes…..
There is another quilt in it - Saint Germain. //blushes//
This is a boring, yet important photo taken next to the computer where I am typing this very blog entry. It is my cup of cappuccino. Why, you ask? Well, it's my first cup of coffee in 6 weeks. There was a little experiment here - something about going caffeine free. Let me tell you. It failed.
The last straw was yesterday's sewing fiasco. I have taken (literally) millions and millions of stitches in my lifetime. This was the first one that actually went through my fingernail.
Bring on the java!

Hi Laurie, I finally caught up with Polly today in Nantes! You must be sewing fast to catch your finger nail! Are they new projects for market? I did see your quilt in Quiltmania... I was very excited to get my copy too, as my quilt is the one on the front page :)
See you in Pittsburg, Karen
Amazing quilts, love seeing quilts from other's in different countries and that tent is so fun. I can't count the times I have stuck myself, my fingers are human pincushions, lol.

OWWWWW! I know, it's a nail but still... ouch.
Say Hi to the sister... I'll miss seeing her in Pittsburgh. But given the choice, I'd rather be in France too. And I like Pittsburgh! :)
See you soon! (ACK!)

I have actually sewn through my finger-twice! I am a sewing speed demon.
Hahahaha! I tried that experiment too! I sure didn't last 6 weeks! I have not had sugar for 3 years and that is nothing compared to no java! XOXO
I love the pictures! Amazing patterns and color combos. Yes, java is actually medically safe...safer than the needle. I thought I was the only one that could sew her nail.
Thanks for sharing.

I dont understand the coffee thing.. I love coffee. I could go decaf but gone altogether..no way. love all your projects, that magazine quilt is lovely, but then everything you do is. (I know I am such a suck up)
Thank you for sharing all those wonderful photos. I once tried to give up caffeine too - disasterous!
