The last of Pour LÁmour Du Fill. People you meet and one last booth.

Its the end of the financial tax year here in Australia,

 and its been keeping me busy and away from the computer.

Well, on the computer, but not playing!!

 

So many other wonderful quilting things are also happening,

 so its time to wrap up Nantes and move on.

 

One of the things l enjoy most about visiting international quilt shows

 is connecting with quilters from around the world.

 

In the photo below are 2 new to me quilters, 1 l have known for 1 year, 

and 2 l have known for 3 years.

L-R Mirjam, Francoise, me, Mary, Helen and Martine,

all having a great time in Mary's booth.



 

Mary's was a wonderful meeting place.

L-R Mary, Ellen, me and Randi.

(Still loving that quilt in the background)

 

 

Here we all met for lunch.

L-R Francoise, Helen, Me, Mary, Jane, Martine, Ellen, Mirjam, Randi.

Belgium, Holland, Australia, America and Norway

 were represented at this lunch meeting.

As you can imagine, the talk was all about quilting!!

Hmm!! Wonder when we will all meet again???

 



 This was the crowd that met us most days.

Where's Randi??

 

 

Another favourite booth was just across the isle.

Facile Cecile.

Check out her blog. The photos are divine!!

 

 

 

  Not sure why, but l don't have any photos

 from Di Fords booth, other than this one.

 

And this of Di with DH Brian.

 

 

But l do have this link to a wonderful post full of photos of her booth.

So go enjoy them!

 

 

It was sad to leave Nantes, and move on.

But many wonderful adventures awaited us.

Some quilting and some not.

So soon l will be back with more.

 

Thanks for visiting.

Linda.

 

 

 

Selvedge Booth at Pour LÁmour Du Fill.

Walking into the Selvedge  booth, one must keep their hand firmly on their purse,

because it just wants to jump out and throw all its money on the counter.

There is so much deliciousness here to buy!!

Starting with their magazine!

Here the rack is full of past issues available for sale at a slightly discounted price.

These beautiful Sophie Digard scarves
are top of my wish list!!
Look at all those quilt patterns in wool!!
 

 

There were beautifully made dolls waiting for a friendly home,

 



gorgeous ribbons,

 

 

these pincushions  l regret having left behind!!

What was l thinking??

 



 

beautiful necklaces,

 

these pretty bells were decoration on a scarf!

 

Simply yummy stuff!!

 

 A few things did come home with me,  stuff like pins and 

cotton tape, and a copy of their magazine.

 l do wish a pincushion had as well!!!

 

 

 

Thanks for visiting.

The House of Nathalie Meance.

The House of Nathalie Meance was like walking into wonderland.

 Not only are her quilts beautiful in their own right, she has added amazing

 embellishments to make them even more stunning.

No words can describe their beauty, so just enjoy the photos!!

Don't forget to click on them to enlarge and see up close and personal

this amazing work.

 

 

 

 

My second favourite!



 



 

My favourite!

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

This is her book, which l believe features all these amazing quilts.

Its available from Quiltmania.

Nathalie also has a website. Its all in French, unfortunately,

and l can't find a translate button.

 

 

Which one is your favourite? And why?

 

Thanks for visiting.

Linda.
