Quilting in Kuwait

As I stated in my first post, my home base is NE Colorado. I frequently travel overseas to follow my husband's contract jobs. So, I have been blessed to be able to visit many countries and see the many crafts that are done throughout the world.

At this time, I am in Kuwait. I have met a lady that has taken me to the Fabric Souks - which are several fabric stores all in one area. There is not much cotton fabric here - but many beautiful fabrics including silks, batiks, beaded fabrics and very ornate fabrics. The notion stores have more trims and buttons and threads than you can imagine. I haven't purchased anything yet, as I am still trying to learn my way around the area.

I am working on Sunbonnet Sue baby quilts and a printed cross-stitch wallhanging quilt at this time. I am also quilting a hand-pieced Christmas wallhanging quilt that I pieced together several years ago and I am slowly getting it quilted. Maybe I will be able to display it this Christmas!

Signing off for now!
