Carrefour - the European Quilt Show Part 2

This photo was taken of vineyards right from our hotel balcony. 


This was a more traditional quilt display. I tried to get the makers of each one but I may have missed a couple. Enjoy!

Love the flying geese!

Love that conversation print! It pays to take a close look!

This was a favorite! Love the red quilting lines!

It is such an amazing quilt!

 Not only were we surrounded by vineyards, we were surrounded by fairy tale villages!

I believe these are geraniums. 

This is one village the quilts were being displayed in. 

The Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines National Necropolis

History: Built to honor soldiers who died during fierce World War I combat in the Vosges mountains, especially the August 1914 clashes in the mountain passes. 

Always mixing my love for history in my travels. 

Beauville Musee

Good morning quilt friends! Thanks for you  positive comments on the reposts. They are fun to revisit.

We had a lovely time in France and Germany and arrived home late Sunday night. 

Coming up- I thought I was ready to start sewing for the annual quiltalong, but my mind has been changed after this amazing Alcatian trip! 

I had a plan to visit the textile museum in Mulhouse but they were closed the day we arrived. from the Basel airport. I was bummed! 

We stayed in the fairytale town of Riquewihr which was very near the linen company of Beauville. Here are my first photos of the little museum they had in the shop. And this link will take you to the brief history of Beauville. 

Amazing (and large) Tree of Life

Now a few scenic photos from the area.

 

We had a lovely and very traditional Alsatian mean here.

The Strasbourg cathedral   built using pink Vosges sandstone. So beautiful!

Such an amazing trip! Can't wait to share it with you~!
