    Sharon, I don't do Pinterest. No time.

    I was not thinking of pictures, but more of instructions, and stuff like that.

    I'm lucky. I see tons of superb miniature quilts every year at Festival of Quilts (waving to Rosemary, a Goddess when it comes to small stuff) in Birmingham every year,

      Wendy Grande........ I find it mildly annoying that my responses to a message in this thread does not appear under that message, but at the top, even though I used the 'response' button in the message. Not good. It's another thing that makes the use of the forum cumbersome for me. Sigh!

      But right now, I'm willing to forgive almost anything, because I'm off to Germany soon, and Ricky and Justin will be at the same German Quilt Guild weekend.

        I've met my International quilter...Wena from Malmesbury, South Africa. We connected and have exchanged pictures and a few emails. I'm really looking forward to working on our quilts and sharing at the end of this adventure. I hope many begin to contact and share their thoughts and ideas without showing too much...

            International Miniature Quilt Exchange- IMQE
            Crossing borders and cultures with Quilts around the globe.
            Purpose
            The purpose of the International Miniature Quilt Exchange is to promote quilting across borders and cultures. The exchange allows team members to communicate and connect with each other. The team will then have the opportunity to participate in a juried exhibition which will premiere at the International Quilt Festival in Houston during the Fall of 2018.
            How to Participate
            To participate, you must be either a free basic member of TheQuiltShow.com or a Star member of TheQuiltshow.com. Willing participants must then join the International Miniature Quilt Exchange Group on the TQS website.
            Each exchange team is a two-person team.
            Each team will have a number associated with their team.
            Quilters from the USA will be paired with an International Quilter on a first come, first served basis (notification by email). It is probable that there will be more USA Quilters than there will be International Quilters.
            Time Line and Important Dates
            Now through Dec 31, 2017 – Teams will continue to be established through December 31, 2017
            Early 2018 – Video tutorial on “How to Photograph Your Quilt” – by Ricky Tims.
            March 2018 – Entry Submission deadline will be in March 2018
            April 15 2018 – Exhibition quilts are selected for the international exhibit and teams notified.
            May 15, 2018 – All selected exhibition quilts must be shipped to USA destination and arrive by May 15 at ARJJ.
            Exhibition quilts will remain with ARJJ for exhibition through 2019.
            • Fall International Quilt Market and Quilt Festival – October 26 to November 4
            • International Quilt Festival, Spring Show in Chicago 2019
            • Other venues possible.

            December 2019 – Quilts are sent to their final owners.



            Why Participate?
            1. Promote quilting and international partnerships/teamwork
            2. Outreach – connecting quilters worldwide
            3. Awareness of cultural differences
            4. Awareness of differences in quilt styles and fabrics from around the world.
            5. Your quilt possibly featured on an international stage.
            Team Guidelines
            • Teams may choose to work together to select a common challenge theme, color scheme or technique to work with. This is not a requirement. Team members can also agree to create totally independent works.
            • By participating, you recognize that the participants will be at all levels of expertise and may be limited to a wide variety of materials to work with. We consider this to be part of the International Miniature Quilt Exchange experience. The reward for participating is not the quilt you get in exchange – it is the experience of connecting with an international quilter.
            • While we encourage each person to put forth their best effort, it is imperative to participate only with the understanding that skill levels vary greatly.
            • Refer to criteria and guidelines before making your quilt.
            • Do not share images of your quilt in any public forum including social media.
            • Do not share your quilt in progress with your teammate. This will be kept secret until the quilts are exchanged.

            o The entire quilt must be the work of only one person.
