When planning a trip in a campervan you can be quite flexible with the route you take, but it is good to have a few key sights you want to see before you leave.  If we are heading off, I always check to see if there are any quilt exhibitions in the area we are heading.  This time we were lucky as the Association Jurassienne de Patchwork were having a display of their work in Delémont, Switzerland, 24th May - 9th June 2014.

You never know quite what you are going to see when you turn up, but from having been to a few 'international' quilt shows, quilters seem to be the same all over - friendly, talented and good at making cakes!  Here are some of the quilts that were on show ...

Quilt 'Oasis' by Maria Vuillemier 2012

Several of the quilts on display were by Maria Vuillemier, and they were the ones I was most drawn to.  She had certainly been busy!
Quilt - 'Code 25 - Écriture morse', Maria Vuillemier, 2013
This quilt, 'Code 25 - Écriture morse' by Maria Vuillemier was a really interesting quilt.  On the left, the tiny blue dots and dashes provide the Morse code to decipher the message on the right.  When it came to my 'Viewers Choice' selection, this quilt got my vote.

Quilt 'Blanc Noir Rouge' by Gaby Stebler 2014

My husband chose this White Black and Red quilt by Gaby Stebler as his 'Viewers Choice'.  I love the way she has used the fabrics to create an optical illusion.


Quilt 'Fusion' by Violette Moser, 2012
This small quilt by Violette Moser caught my eye as it reminded me of some of the designs you might find on an alter frontal in a church or cathedral.  See how even she has managed to keep those curves - amazing.
