It is really amazing how many different approaches to creating textile art are represented. I have always hoped to travel to my Great Grandmother's homeplace and attend the show. This post has made that yearning even stronger.

Your Wall of Keys was truly amazing and everyone loved it. Laura and I really appreciated all your hard work putting them up - I know it wasn't the easiest of jobs and took hours and hours of non stop hammering! Your poor thumb :( But it helped make the Through Our Hands stand really different and we loved it. Thanks for coming all the way to UK, and thanks to all those folks in the US who helped make it possible. So, ready to do it again next time?!!!

So many people attending...almost like one had to fight the crowds (loved your video of them waiting to get in and then once they opened the entrance).

I loved Vladimir's beautiful and varied work, lots of fun too. Liz Hands lives locally to me and I've done a class with her. She is a master of hand stitched quilts and a good teacher too.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223691871102821084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32540525.post-80862424932991729702015-08-16T04:04:44.404-05:002015-08-16T04:04:44.404-05:00Everyone I have spoken to who went loved your keys...Everyone I have spoken to who went loved your keys.

He gave me one of the DVDs of his work. I have also passed on his name to Martha. I think we need him and his adaptation of the ethnic fabric and stitch traditions from Russia.<br /><br />The name of the quilter of the piece with the hand stitch was Liz Hands. The quilt was called Wheel Star. I took loads of photos of the different stitches she used to make the motifs.<br />SandySandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.com
