I shouldn't be doing this... tomorrow I'm driving to Italy and I have prepared 'nothing'.
Nada.
Niente.
I'm at the stage of denial which will be followed by the frantic stage and then the panic stage.
Sigh.
Anyway... briefly and few more quilts for you. Incidentally I stumbled upon the American MQG blog and read all about the 'derivative' quilts saga. When is a derivative quilt a derivative quilt? When it's simply a quilt inspired by? when it is indeed a copy of? What happens when people come out with the same idea at the same time? Mind boggling and totally subjective subject... Very difficult to sort out that one I fear.
I'm not going into it here because I'm still thinking where I'm standing on that one.
My favourite quilts by far - and the ones I spent the majority of my time looking at - were the ones from the "European Quilt Triennial'
Stunning.
Here's but a few:
(Ruth Bosshart-Rohrbach)
(Randa Stewner)
(Gabrielle Paquin)
(Beatrice Lanter)
(Miriam Pet-Jacobs)
(Jette Clover)
(Urte Hanke)
(Segolaine Schweitzer)
(Marita Lappalained)
There were more... and all wonderful... and I keep picking up the catalogue and dreaming of experimenting...
For now though there are suitcases to pack and a beds to change and a dog to walk and a dishwasher to empty/refill and ...
BYE!! SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE...
