I BEG of you to read this post about "art on bed covers". If you dont crack a smile then I truely appologise.
Please note the prices of the Quilts range from P200 to P2000 with the most expensive one being Kgosi Tau at P6280 :) and it was a larger quilt (NOPE it is on the smaller side just very detailed and framed)
Let me explain, we are having an Art Quilt exhibition to which I have posted about. WELL we get most of the newspapers in town come to things like this. It is a smallish City in a country of just over 2million so news like this is kind of hard to come by. Now, I understand not knowing what a Quilt is. I understand therfore not knowing what an ART Quilt is....but as a reporter if I was to say report on the local Kalahari Desert Race I would Google about it. Check what kind of things they do and what they are about before I go so I know what to ask. Well as you can read this did not happen before OR after.
I must say that I was profoundly happy that during this interview I had a witness or no one would believe me how bad it was (well now they will haha). We both could not believe what she was asking. This I forgave as I was in a great mood and even gave her ideas of what to Google like Art Quilts, Kalahari Quilts, Fiber Revolution....even my blog. None of this was written down as she said she knows how to google and what to look up. OK :)
We have had other good articles but this one was soooooo worth sharing under my experiences of quilting in Botswana. Please read it and have fun. Here is Kgosi Tau again (yes he is King Lion)

Kalahari Quilts International Exhibition 2012
@ Linaeus
This is the site of our 2012 International exhibition. What a lovely venue for a show, nestled in a garden nursery with a lovely tea house and such a lot of Character. The nursery name is Sanitas. I have been going there since I was a young kid with my dad who loved gardening. Now I take my kids regularly as I love to garden and have the occasional cup of coffee haha. So lovely to see the place flourish like this over the years
