Sue Dennis, another Australian quilter has been to China a couple of times now and has developed an affiliation and friendship with some quilters there. She was invited to mount an Australian exhibition and I was lucky enough to be included.
She has sent me some photos of my quilt in the Beijing exhibition.
Crazy About Australia is the first crazy quilt that I ever made, it's over 10 years old now. I think it is the first time that it has travelled overseas.
Here is a clearer photo of it.

Thank you to Sue Dennis for inviting me to participate.
Bye for now,
Linda

Congratulations, how exciting for your quilt to be shown overseas.
We don't hear much about the quilters in China because they don't have blogging or Facebook. Thanks for your comment Judy
Congrats on this achievement! It's one beautiful quilt and you must be very proud.
Thanks Caroline, I did feel proud to be invited to paticipate.
Fabulous, Linda! It is a shame that China isn't more open to the world on theinternet about their craft work as their textile work is stunning, as are most Asian countries. It must be fascinating for them to see your work - what a great example of Australian patchwork they are seeing!
Your patchworks is very great. It looks like a really hard made work. I'd like to see all the blocks closer cause on the photo of the whole patchwork I can see them badly. Very cool work.
