Hall XXL – Parc des Expositions de la Beaujoire – NANTES - France
April 20th to 23rd, 2016
For lovers of needlework, the upcoming Pour l'Amour du Fil show in Nantes, France, promises to be a real treat. The venue halls will abound with classes, exhibits, vendors and more, all designed to inspire quilters, knitters, embroiderers, and those aficionados of needle arts.
With this year's theme, "Cherry Blossoms," it is no accident that the show will include Yoko Saito (learn about Yoko Saito in Show 1505) and beautiful quilts from her most recent QUILTMANIA book, "My Little Japan."
There will also be traditional quilts by Linda Collins, Jane Lury & Linda Koenig. Wonderful embroideries by Brian Haggard (Show 1106), Australian quilts from Margaret Sampson George & Brigitte Giblin, and the amazing Boutis by Kumiko Nakayama, along with many other American and European artists.
Come and meet the artists, enjoy the demos on TV screens, classes and workshops by artists from all over the world, mini workshops from 1 to 2 hours (sewing, knitting, embroidery…) and more.
In the shopping area, over 100 exhibitors from different countries will welcome you, so don’t miss this wonderful edition with splendid exhibitions, a creative mood, lots of surprises and especially the pleasure of a show not quite like any other.
Enjoy a video from last year's show; it's in French, but its main language is Quilting.
This is not your everyday paper art. Russian artist Asya Kozina has been turning paper into high art for years, and won renown for her impressive Mongolian wedding costumes. Here she creates Baroque wigs.
While we were working in our offices behind Alden Lane Nursery in California, one of Alden Lane's employess came by with this quilt top in progress. It is a great quilt for a kid. It has articles that have been part of the child's life and will be a real meaningful quilt as the child grows up. Take a look and be sure to click the magnifying glass to zoom in closer.
Lori Kennedy, the author of 12 Essential Skills Every Quilter Must Know, walks you step by step through the creation of her "Dizzy Daisy" pattern which is great background filler for any quilt.
