A very special tour will take place the day after the grand opening of COLOR IMPROVISATIONS II, March 11, 2016, in Germany. COLOR IMPROVISATIONS II is an exhibition I have spent 1 1/2 years curating as a platform to represent some of the best machine-pieced quilts being created in the world today. There will be 50 very large quilts in this exhibition representing artists from the USA, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Scotland, and Canada.
The grand opening will take place at the Tuch+Technik Textile Museum in Neumünster, Germany, very near the city of Hamburg, on March 11, 2016, with the tour commencing the day afterwards, March 12. I will be on this tour along with my co-coordinator, Ginie Curtze.
Join us in this very special, but very inexpensive tour, intended for all those who would like a taste of the geography and sights of northern Germany including a venture into The Netherlands. The US dollar is nearly on par with the Euro making this an ideal time to travel in Europe.
