TheQuiltShow.com is excited about the International Miniature Quilt Exchange Project and the partnerships we are creating. We have 258 IMQE Partners – 42 Partners away from our goal of 300 partners. We have 5 United States Quilters waiting for International partners. We asked IMQE partners to Share their Stories:

One of our most recent IMQE members, SallyQuilter, wrote: I am so thrilled to be partnered with LeeanneS. It's amazing how many similarities we have in common and proves that quilters really are all cut from the same cloth no matter the distance between us....Colorado to Israel in our case. I look forward to our journey together and with this community created by TQS. Such a great idea! Thank you!

Scarlet26, from France, also shared her story: You paired me with Debbi just quite well: she has French ancestors ! Isn’t that great?! Even if Debbi does not speak French, we exchanged emails since April and I discovered her wonderful living working in the historical village “Sander Village” in Ohio.  I also discovered that Ohio state was a French territory before 1763, date of “traité de Paris” when France “gave” Ohio to Great Britain.  Surprise, surprise! We discovered too, that we both don’t like the same color: purple. Thanks again for this great gift!

LauraAust was also surprised with her discovery and wrote:  I am from central Iowa and my partner is from France - you wouldn't think we would have much in common, would you? But get this - I told my partner where I live (I was prepared to tell her all about the Midwest of the United States and stuff). She replied to me and told me that she is very familiar with Iowa - in fact, she and her husband have applied to live in Iowa when they retire! She has been here many times!

WHAT WILL YOU DISCOVER WHEN YOU JOIN IMQE? You won’t know until you join!

Quilters have until March 2018 to complete their miniature quilts. Get all the details here.

1 International Quilter + 1 United States Quilter + A Passion for Quilting
