Tutu's DJ on Tour

Hi Tutu! I won't be ale to get to one of the shows but I can tell everyone just how beautiful some of those indigos are. The fabric is to die for!! I can just imagine how the Dear Judy (DJ?) quilt looks. Have you heard anythig from Biffy or Joyce lately? South Africa has been pretty quiet for awhile.

Congratulations again on your quilt. RedQueen

I'm so proud of you!

Congrats on the honour of your touring quilt Tutu, sorry it won't be in my neighbourhood for a look see. None of those places are within driving distance for a quick weekend trip :-[. Here's hoping your ISP starts behaving shortly, we see you even if you don't.

I wish it was coming to the NEC! Well done, Tutu!

Tutu, I'll be going to the Ft. Washington Quilt show in September. I'll say "hi" to your quilt for you. I can't wait to see it in person. I have two Japanese manhole Cover quilts hanging in a special exhibit there too. I'll take photos of your quilt.'

I'll be going to Ft. Washington as well, Tutu. I can't wait to see your quilt. I'm also really looking forward to seeing Kris' manhole quilts. I saw one in a book, but haven't seen the other at all.

Me, too, Kris. Can't wait to see Tutu's DJ and your work, too. Nancycog in MD

Hullo Wendy I think Brenda is Frank's wife. He of the amusing tales - that all started when he asked our help in choosing a gift for Brenda (though we didn't know her name then). Lovely to hear from you Brenda! . In article , frood writes

D'oh! of course! Hi, Brenda!

Woo hoo!!!! Our quilt group has already made plans to toddle on down to PIQF. I'm not entering anything there this year, but at least I'll get to see yours!

Do you want a program from PIQF? I'd be more than happy to send it on your way... :)

Nice to "see" you, Judy! Biffy has been terribly busy running the !computer shop and internet cafe!! started by one of her sons - and has been too rushed to do much sewing (or much emailing either!!) so I haven't actually got together with her for ages. No, generally, we are a quiet bunch here at present - perhaps we all just go into hibernation, and wait for winter to pass!

-- Cheers for now

Thanks ever so much - hope your next Polish trip goes well!

-- Cheers for now

And yours too - PLEASE! I'd love to see a manhole quilt - I have just read about them.

How's the shoulder, Kris??

-- Cheers for now

As far as I know from past exhibitors - a lot of the Southern Hemisphere travelling quilts are in the innovative categories - I saw some of last year's South African crop and they were pretty awesome, as were the Australian entries. Pity we don't get to see the exhibition HERE!!!

-- Cheers for now

Tutu, here is the web site that shows the Japanese Manhole Cover books and the gallery shows a few of the quilts. I have quilts in all three of her books and traveling in both of her traveling exhibits.

I also have a purple and oange lily quilt in her book "Quilting in the Morning Calm". If you cliorange book cover, you'll get to a page talking about the book. There is a section called "Quilts from new Book" . If you click on it you'll get to this page.

Mine is the first quilt in the corner. if you click on it, you'll get a larger photo. I have to keep looking at the "Trunk Show Locations" to see where my quilts are going next. I have my manhole cover quilts in her books " Treasurers Underfoot" and "Quiltign With manhole Covers".

You'll just have to come and visit ( I live just south of Washington DC) and go to some of these larger quilt shows with me. Pat W. live only about 2

1/2 hours down the highway .
