It is so exciting\nto see our quilt challenge hanging in a new venue, and to see how quilters in\nanother country react to the message of these quilts. I spoke to the Mexican\nquilters today, about how the challenge works, and a little bit about the\njurying process. We have one Mexican quilter in &#8216;Love Your Mother&#8217; and I look\nforward to seeing the quilt movement continue to develop here. <br><br>\nLea McComas&#8217; &#8216;Wall&#8217; is also being displayed at this event, and due to the\ntiming of US events, it has been the spark for much conversation. She still has\nbricks coming in from both sides of the issue, so if you want to express your\nfeelings about this topic, you can still make a brick. Both sides of the Wall\nare welcome! <br><br>\nOne of my Japanese friends is here. I just saw her at the Tokyo show a few\nweeks ago, and we&#8217;ll be meeting at the QuiltCon event next weekend. It is such\na special feeling to see quilter friends from other countries when attending\nthese events. Today I visited the Diego Rivera murals with a Canadian quilter\nwho lives in Mexico, and a Dutch quilter who lives in the Caribbean. It is so\nfascinating compare our experiences of being quilters from different countries.\nFor those who do not have a quilt shop locally, eQuilter is a lifeline! <br><br>\nI&#8217;ve uploaded photos of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/search?p_filter_keyword=RUMDL&amp;p_search_type=all&amp;p_func=live&amp;fn=nl_20190216193818\">Love\nYour Mother<\/a><\/strong> in Mexico&#8217; to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/luanarubin\/albums\">my photo page<\/a>, and\nwill upload more from this event as the internet here allows. It is a little\nspotty. The world may be going crazy but quilting brings us together under the\numbrella of love, creativity and generosity, and I am going to stay under this\ncolorful umbrella. <br><br>\nsharing your Passion for Fabric&#8230; <br>\nLuana and Paul \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<strong>Share Post:<\/strong><br><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5139&#038;t=Quilters%20de%20Mexico%20Festival&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5139&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F02%2FRUANI4LF_MD.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Quilters%20de%20Mexico%20Festival\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5139&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-pinterest nolightbox\" data-provider=\"pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Pin it with Pinterest\" href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5139&#038;media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F02%2FRUANI4LF_MD.jpg&#038;description=Quilters%20de%20Mexico%20Festival\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pinterest\" title=\"Pin it with Pinterest\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/pinterest.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-linkedin nolightbox\" data-provider=\"linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5139&#038;title=Quilters%20de%20Mexico%20Festival\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"linkedin\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/linkedin.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was the last day of the quilt festival in Mexico City, where I&#8217;ve been chaperoning the Love Your Mother exhibit at the Quilters de Mexico event.
