We have managed to renegotiate
hotel prices and air fare and this, and the current strength of
the £ against the US $ means that we have been able to reduce
the prices on this tour.
We currently have 38 provisional

7 nights in Sisters and ending with a scenic journey along
the Pacific Coast Highway. A great opportunity to experience this
amazing show and to take part in the classes.

The Alsace is one of France's
best-kept secrets. Situated between the Rhine and the Vosges Mountains,
and bordering Germany and Switzerland, Alsace is the smallest province
in France - just 114 miles long by 30 miles wide. Small as it may
be, the region offers a rich diversity of landscapes: plains, forests,
vineyards, valleys and mountain peaks.
In September each year the
European forum of patchwork (Carrefour Europeen du patchwork) takes
place in Ste Marie aux Mines in Alsace. More than 800 textile works
from different countries are presented in Ste Marie and the neighbouring
villages during this four-day festival. In previous years you could
have admired ancient Turkoman wall hangings which combine the techniques
of embroidery with patchwork, as well as wonderful Egyptian shimmering-coloured
works, mostly completed by men. There is always something for everyone's
taste. Contemporary textile art takes a large place too with very
original presentations from Germany, Denmark, Great Britain, and,
in 2009, a spectacular display of Amish patchwork art.
There is also a sales area, (essential for a patchwork fans) with
around a hundred shops.
