Patchwork and Crepes

What a great  afternoon out with the girls... well, Laurence and Dawn... to see a Patchwork exhibition at the Maisons des Associations in Toulouse...  Although traditional patchwork is not really my thing I admire all the time and patience people must spend creating these beautiful creations!  I particularly liked the Japanese inspired quilts so I've been looking up Japanese quilting books; Omiyage - Handmade Gifts from Fabric by Kumiko Sudo looks good, an interesting introduction about the Japanese tradition of giving gifts.  In February they celebrate how every object has a soul.. I like this idea; now just have to get the book and find the time and patience to make something!!  Also liked the little room assigned to more contemporary items including the SisterArt Association and the Atelier Jomaray who uses textile and paper.. maybe one day I'll have something in there.. unless we make our own exhibiton ... Dawn and Laurence??!! 

Finished off the rather rainy afternoon with tea and crepes in the Bol Bu.. what could be nicer!!!
