For European lovers of needlework, the upcoming Pour l'Amour du Fil show in Nantes, France, promises to be a real treat. From April 23 - 26, the Parc de Expositione de la Beaujoire will abound with classes, exhibits, vendors, and more, all geared to inspire quilters, sewers, embroiderers, knitters, and other aficionados of the needle arts. The theme this year is Vintage..., with a special nod to the 1950s. We even found a class that covers how to make a 3-D flower brooch using old needlepoint scraps! 

Not able to make the event? You can count on TQS to give you a taste of the action. Carolyn Konig, an Australian teacher and quilt-shop owner, is known for recreating 18th-century quilts and LOVES to do it all by HAND! You won't want to miss her show (Episode 1414) which will be airing  on TQS in May. Here's a sneak peek at her work.
