Quiltah- I've been quilting for decades and I had no idea!

Thanks Annette, my Irish friend, who clued me in today to a quilt festival that she just returned from in the southern part of Spain, a place called Sitges, just west of Barcelona. I couldn't help it I said, Spain, isn't it too hot for quilts there! Apparently not, quilting is a really big thing all over Europe.

So, investigating further, I found a listing site for all kinds of quilt shows and festivals, all over the world! It's called Quiltah.
I searched for a picture I could use in this post, nothing really available, but here is a link to an instagram hashtag that will show a few things that were shared about this years show. The Alzheimer's quilt was really cool. #patchworksitges2024
Now, I haven't been much of a world traveler since I was a Navy Brat. My parents were both born and raised in Montana, so when my Dad retired we came "home" and I've never left. Now I have the time, and I might be able to scrape up a little money, and make some plans for more travel. There just isn't anything better I would rather do than to go to quilt festivals and shows, especially if I get a chance to learn something new.
Maybe I can do a little troll traveling and look at pictures that have hashtags of shows on Insta. Is there anything better than quilt pictures? I think not.
Stay tuned.
