Exhibition at European Patchwork Meeting 2023

Among the world’s top 3 textile arts events, the European Patchwork Meeting offers a wide variety of textile artworks every year from patchwork to embroidery, mixed media, dyeing, crochet and lace: all forms of textile art come together for 4 days of frenzy.

 

Considered as the cradle of the Amish community, the villages of the Val d’Argent (Alsace) open their most beautiful venues and welcome an unforgettable festival of colors and materials, with each year more than 30 exhibitions of international artists.

A unique event in the heart of an atypical valley: Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines, Lièpvre and Rombach-le-Franc form an area with a singular mining and industrial history: a major centre for the extraction and exploitation of silver and other minerals.

I am really proud I was one of the exhibitors in 2023.

 

My venue was the Maison des Oeuvres in Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines    

A beautiful space for my Storytelling Coats and Quilts.

We had a wonderful time! It was really busy all the time.

We had lots of visitors from all over the world. Speaking many different languages.
There were times I didn't know what language I was speaking anymore.😂

A different outfit every day

With special thanks to Bernina for sponsoring me.

The exhibition was part of a large Quiltfestival with many exhibitions in different villages.

We had lots of visitors: about 1100 during the 3 days we were there.

It was so busy that I didn't have time to visit the other exhibitions myself.
It was great to see so many friends and make lots of new friends too.

It was great to be part of this exhibition with three of my coats.
