I have so much to share from my trip to the Carrefours European Patchwork Show in Alsace, France last month, but first…strawberries.
I know we just did Halloweeeeen, but when my beemate asked for strawberries for her block in October, I couldn’t resist drawing up a free block guide for you to download.

Almost as soon as I got my suitcases cleared out then I came down with a case of covid, which meant Paxlovid (cue: grimace, for the taste it leaves in your mouth, but cue: happy face, for having this drug). I’m just now coming up to the top of things and curating my photos. All is coming, but here’s a taste of things:
Yes, it really is in a series of small villages set in the beautiful Alsace region of France (just below Strasbourg), and there really were amazing quilts to be seen in beautiful venues, but it’s coming, I promise!
One of the many sites where quilts and art were displayed: this was an old church filled with Amish-style quilts, honoring the early emmigrants from this region to America.
Au revoir!

Thank you for the strawberry pattern. Love Europe and the old buildings and churches, Alsace and its history.
Wonderful trip!
sending hugs,

Your strawberry looks good enough to eat! Thanks for the pattern. I’ve so enjoyed the photos from your trip. Glad the Paxlovid worked for you. It made me so nauseous, I couldn’t take it.
So sorry to hear about your Covid but I’m glad that Paxlovid worked for you. I love your strawberry block. It’s so simple and yet perfect! I can visualize placemats, table runners, etc. So what if it is October! Looking forward to seeing all the pics of your trip.
Your strawberries look luscious! Hope your are recovered from the Covid.
Your strawberries look luscious. Hope you are recovered from Covid.
Looks like a beautiful trip! So many people I know have gotten COVID while travelling…sorry you had the same experience!
I hope you are feeling better now. That El Niño quilt is breathtaking!
