The Quilt Show is inviting all of its members to cross borders and cultures with Quilts around the globe. It couldn’t be easier for you to travel to another country and learn about quilting from a different perspective. All you have to do is join the International Miniature Quilt Exchange Group on the TQS website. TQS Groups are located under the Connect tab.

Each International Quilter will be partnered with a US Quilter on a first come, first serve basis from now through the end of the year. Each team will have the opportunity to participate in a juried exhibition which will premiere at the International Quilt Festival in Houston during the Fall of 2018.

Below are some great examples of mini-quilts from Deborah Kemball, Pam Holland, and Ricky Tims (click here to see more examples).
