<\/p>\n

I am posting the last few videos from the Birmingham Quilt Festival<\/a> in the next couple days, before I leave for my next big adventure on Friday the 13th.<\/p>\n

Did you catch my video interview with Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably<\/a>? Of course we carry all the shot cottons, yarn-dye stripes, and books<\/a> that are mentioned in the interview.
You'll hear him talking about his fabrics from India.<\/p>\n

I have just uploaded Part 1 & 2 videos of the Pictorial Quilt Exhibit,<\/a> which was sponsored by eQuilter in Birmingham. This is one of my favorite categories, which is why we sponsor this of course!<\/p>\n

Please note that we now have the book Abataka<\/a> which was mentioned last week in the Mary Fisher video.<\/a><\/p>\n

So are you wondering why I am going to India on Friday? I am meeting my dear friend Pam Holland<\/a> (artist, teacher<\/a>, author,<\/a> and fellow international adoptive mom) and we are going to tour India for 2 weeks.
We are both photographers and artists with a passion for color and
textiles, so we are working our way across the country from New Delhi,
Jaipur and Agra, to the banks of the sacred river Ganges at
Varanasi…with a textile theme in mind.<\/p>\n

(I took a road trip on the Great Ocean Road<\/a> in Australia last year with Pam, after we made several videos<\/a> at the Melbourne Australasian Quiltfest)<\/a><\/p>\n

This is my first time to India, although I spent a month in Columbo in
Sri Lanka, in the late 80's.
I arrived a week after the civil war started, and as our flight was
about to land at Columbo Airport, the gentleman next to me quipped "This
flight was blown up a week ago!" – as if that was a piece of
information I needed to have at that moment.<\/p>\n

Well I assume this trip will be quite different, and my goal is to take a
TON of colorful and inspirational photos, which I will share with you
when I return.
(Maybe a few while I am there, but I expect I'll be too exhausted at
night to work on editing photos while on the trip.)<\/p>\n

Those of you who came to my interview with Jinny Beyer<\/a>
at the Not Fade Away conference, will remember that I peppered her with
questions about the time she lived in India, and how it inspired her as
a designer.<\/p>\n

I have made a connection with Bernina India in Mumbai, but I need to
make connections with quilters in New Delhi so hopefully I can meet some
Indian quilters next week on Sunday.
If any of you can help me with this, I'd be most appreciative!<\/span><\/p>\n
