More From Nantes

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!

 Here is another photo of Carolyn Konig's house.  Love it

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!
