My company JT Trading Corp is sponsoring the WOW (Women of the World) Friendship Quilt Display.? This group of quilts came out of a fabric challange? where invitations were sent out to a? group in 4 countries,? Turkey, Japan, Australia and USA.? Each group leader chose 3 fabrics and invited 8 quilters from their group to take part.? ? All 32 participents recieved a fabric packet with 3 fabrics from each country along with some embellishments.? The rules? were to choose a friendship sentiment to help reflect the meaning of the finished quilt.? ? Use? a minimum? of 2 fabrics from each country and include up to 3 of your own choice and use any of the embelishments.? Over the next 2 years the collection will be? traveling to the guild shows in all of the countries.? The first one will be with the Kagoshima Quilters Association ? in Kagoshima Japan Dec 11-13.
Here is a sampling of? the quilts from this exhibit -
