The international 'Radiation' exhibition with many SAQA members' works included has been opened at a further venue in Germany: a joint exhibition in two museums, one for radiology (Deutsches Röntgenmuseum) and one for textiles and linen (Tuchmuseum Lennep). The perfect combining link for a cooperation between these two museum located near each other!

Barbara Lange and Jana Sterbova exhibit in Parliament in Prague

SAQA Europe/Middle East members Barbara Lange (Germany) and Jana Sterbova (Czech Republic) had a joint two week exhibition in the Parliament buildings in Prague recently.

The exhibition was spread out over galleries on three floors, surrounding the inner courtyard. First and second floor were exhibitions of quilt groups from Bohemia, and Barbara and Jana were presented on the third floor.

Congratulations!

Harrogate K&S Show - end of November

"Food for Thought" has travelled to all the Knit & Stitch shows this year. A few of us went to Harrogate to steward. It was a busy stand with many visitors viewing their first art quilts and WOWed by them. Most visitors were not quilters as the show is a general textile show with a heavy bias to knitting so interesting to talk to.

Thanks to Michele Hardman, Cherrilyn Tyler, Sandra Wyman, Sarah Edwards and Brenda Wroe and Linda Forey and accompanying friends and Robert for stewarding.

Here are a few pictures:

 Hope everyone has a good festive season.
