Pour L'Amour du Fil

Here we are in beautiful France! Our first stop was in Nantes to attend Pour L'Amour du Fil (For the Love of Thread). What a truly amazing experience we enjoyed at this inspiring international textile show featuring embroidery, patchwork, knitting & sewing - the work of talented textile artists from all around the globe including the work of Australian artists such as Brigitte Giblin, Kathy Doughty & Loani Prior.
Rain & cold weather greeted us but quickly cleared to provide clear days for us to meander our way along the canal each day from our hotel to the exhibition centre. Many photos have been taken but have included a few to provide an overview of this amazing exhibition.

We did find some time for sightseeing around Nantes - will include some photos with the next post.

Hope you enjoy these photos. Au revoir until the next post, K.....................





Let the show begin!!
