Lorna1021 OFFLINE Posts: 952 Thank you received: 105	And more from this exhibit... "My Flower Garden" by Monica Greinz I loved this one. The quilting was wonderful. See close up below. It's called "Diversity in Austria" by Quiltgruppe Steiermark Also a favorite. "Sky of St Stephan- Vienna" by Ursula Beirbaumer-Bohle. I hope on of these is in my future. I have taken so many pictures of cathedral ceilings...and floors.

Lorna1021 OFFLINE Posts: 952 Thank you received: 105	Thanks, Nancy! I guess I had forgot to push the insert button. I was also able to go back and edit the other posts to get the pictures inserted. More pictures coming this evening.

Lorna1021 OFFLINE Posts: 952 Thank you received: 105	Hmmm, I don't see any pictures from Exhibit 4. I might have missed that one! What a shame. The program say they were quilts from South Korea. The businesses all got into the act too each with quilts in their windows. The bakery The beauty shop The insurance people The shoe store and the butcher

Wow they are all superb, what quality. The secret garden door needs to be made into a quilt. I feel I've seen the Mandala quilt before at Harrogate. It took me best part of a year to find out how it was done. What a treat this all is in such a wonderful historic place.

The book looks interesting, I'd love to look through it. I've booked a workshop in October on art journalling which I hope will help my quilting and creativity and give me a push to use inks, colours and mixed media.

Nancy your kitty knows how to keep warm. My Pickens is the same she jumps up and rolls even before I turn the iron on. It's ok I read on your blog the iron is off.

Lorna1021 OFFLINE Posts: 952 Thank you received: 105	Exhibit 3 was in the back of a restaurant. This exhibit featured miniature quilts and each artist was supposed to use white in their quilt. THese are from varying artisit from Japan. Here is a close up. The bug on the leaf is my favorite. This is called Mandala and is only 43cm square.

rehak OFFLINE Posts: 2783 Thank you received: 458	What cool quilts! Thanks for sharing! My pictures have always appeared inside the post as opposed to being attachments. I'll do a test: What I did was click in the file name box and select the picture file. Then I positioned my mouse where I wanted the picture in the text and clicked the "Insert" button. Could it be that you haven't clicked the "Insert" button?
