Blog > First International Quilt Convention in Africa
Hello stitching world ♥ I have some good news for you...
South Africa is hosting the FIRST International Quilt Convention Africa at Emperors Palace in
Johannesburg from 27 - 29 July 2012.
This amazing event includes an exhibition of over 250 quilts from overseas as well as Africa.

Sharon Calverley from Stitches magazine wrote to me:
"Two exhibits we have been especially proud to obtain are "The Unspoken Truth about Color - a dialogue in art quilts about racism." A thought-provoking exhibition by the Fiber Artists for Hope group of America....

...and "Tangle", from the European Patchwork Meeting international contest 2011 - a selection of 35 quilts from all over the world.
These are exceptional artworks and should not be confused with bed quilts — one of the quilts in the Unspoken Truth about Colour exhibition is valued at $23 000!
Don't you just love:
"My dreams my quilts my dreams" by Elmine van der Walt from the "Dreams" collection.
