My quilts are flying to the Netherlands! I am packing up quilts to ship to Rhinetex for their home fair next weekend. Charlotte Sometimes was worried she would be left behind, so she jumped into the box first.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, Rhinetex is a HUGE distributor of patchwork fabrics and other goodies in Europe. They are having an open house and I am going to teach to the shop owners there and show some of my quilts.
Then the quilts are going somewhere even more exciting - to a three month long exhibition at De Naaidoos quilt shop in Neiuw Buinen. How very exciting.
There are 22 quilts in all... you might recognise some of these!
At the last moment (and heavens knows, I am the queen of the last moment), I realised that in order to HANG quilts, you need something to HANG them with... like a slip... and lots don't have any. Which resulted in this -
Otherwise known as the rather large and scary quilt mountain which knows no slips or labels. Which resulted in a huge amount of this....
Damian says when I'm finished I'm allowed to go and have sushi, so I dunno what I'm doing here talking to you!! Bye.....
What a long journey, but fantastic! I hope the sushi was wonderful.

The sushi was worth the wait, but I still have to finish the last quilt today, it was Coming Up Roses and King sized, so he let me off :) Back to the needles....

Oh Sarah, what a big job...but how exciting for your to be displaying and sharing your quilts with those in the Netherlands. I know they will be appreciated in Holland as much as they are here....
Well done - you go girl!!!

Sarah, How exciting for you. I am sure that everyone will LOVE your quilts as much as we do here in Australia.

Your quilts coming to the Netherlands. That is my chance as I happen to live there! Nieuw Buinen isn't on my side of the country though, so I will have to work out how to get there, maybe a quilting weekend with some friends?

Looks like another fantastic block is brewing! Always fun to visit here!
thanks for sharing...
