A presentation describing the art of quilting in a                                                                                                                   different culture.

                                                                                                               In 2008 I was invited to judge, teach and lecture in                                                                                                             Gramado, Brazil, at the 11th Brazilian Quilting and                                                                                                            Patchwork Festival. While there I met  some of the most                                                                                                          wonderful quilters doing just what we do in the States. There                                                                                                          are significant differences, of course, which are extremely                                                                                                        interesting.  But, while I focus on differences, my Brazilian                                                                                                       adventure reinforces my belief that quilting has universal appeal in                                                                                                   any culture.
