Alsace 05: Sainte Croix aux Mines

Life by Shizuko Kuroha

Detail of tiny log cabins

Log Cabin width varied to create illusion of curves

Dtail of HST quilt

Shizuko Kuroha's "The Peaceful Sea"  of 2010 seen in facing mirror being 
photographed by me.

I don't have the title of this one

On Friday and on Sunday we visited Sainte Croix aux Mines where we saw the wonderful works of Japanese quilter Shizuko Kiroha displayed in the grand Villa Burrus and in a larger community building Erick Wolfmeyer's large pieces hand quilted by an Amish lady.
Wolfmeyer's Blue horizon 

Detail

Detail showing the sharp break: I like this effect

And another one - "One Life" employing the same device, more complex

Detail of the above

This one is called "Overshot"

Detail of Overshot
And the view outside
And a more picturesque angle

Thanks for the feature! Being in at the EPM in 2018 was the thrill of a lifetime. Fell in love with France.
