I took well over 700
photos whilst I was in Alsace and I’ve just spent this morning trying to sort
them out. I’ve been organised and sorted
them into folders. The next task is to
go through and delete the out of focus ones, before I can start to consider
them properly.

With over twenty
locations to visit there was certainly plenty of quilts to see and many of them
veered more into textile art than traditional quilting, which suited me. It was really inspiring to see so much art
created in textiles. I came home really
fired up to continue the pieces I have on the go.

The first
exhibition I want to share is the special one that celebrated the 20 years of
the show. About 90 artists who have
exhibited over the past 20 years were asked to contribute a quilt they made in
the past and create a new one specially for the show. It was really interesting to see how people
have developed (or not!). Many seem to have started in traditional quilts and moved more into art quilts. I don't think anyone in the exhibition had moved in the other direction.

It was quite
difficult to photograph as they were hanging in a silver mine museum, with
lovely natural daylight (and therefore lovely natural shadows) and some were in
corners so I couldn’t get straight angles, but hopefully these will give you a
flavour of some of them. It’s a shame
there was a publication to accompany the show or that the exhibition isn’t
touring as it was a fascinating survey of quilt art over the past twenty years.
