My solo exhibition, Fil de vie (Thread of Life), was presented at the historic Sainte Madeleine Church in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines during Carrefour Européen du Patchwork, September 18–21.
On September 20, the Avant-Garde awards of the International Contest were announced. I was honored to serve as one of the jurors, alongside Libs Elliott and Scott Culley—congratulations to all the talented artists recognized!
The final day of Carrefour Européen du Patchwork was also my workshop day. Twenty-one participants filled the room with energy and curiosity, regardless of age. My random weave and stitch technique is not your usual embroidery—it embraces imperfection, trial and error, the idea that “it’s okay to be wrong,” and the beauty found in tangles. Everyone jumped in with joy and courage.
