Frenchman André Girod and his wife Françoise drove to Winterset from Chicago one October day years ago during Madison County’s annual Covered Bridge Festival. The Girods had noticed an item in a Chicago newspaper about a quilt show going on that weekend. André, an artist and historian, was interested in American art forms, owned a unique event space at his home in the South of France, and wanted to feature quilts.
What a lovely read. I am so glad you mentioned this to me at the quilt airing. It was really nice to meet you!
Delightful to meet you yesterday, Pati! We have friends (and quilting) in common. Thanks "sew" much for subscribing.
