Love the flags! (giggle) I’d love to see the Ohio State exhibition in Columbus, Ohio “The Sewer’s Art”. I believe it is the closest to me. Hmmmm, I’m off to scheme and dream.

I was suppose to be in Columbus Ohio visiting my son and his family when the Ohio State exhibition is to be but I had to cancel my trip. More to be sad about.
Thank you Els for all the effort that you put into compiling that list! I will go through the links and see what they offer online. I won’t be getting to Toronto anytime soon but that exhibit does have pics on the web so I will definately check it out.

I’m off to the Hong Kong one today, sadly it’s in the middle of nowhere, but happily there will probably be hardly anyone there. I’ll let you know how it went.

good information. I visited the exhibition in Barcelona, which will remain open until 2011. then create a new museum to display all the pieces in reserve.
thank you for this information Els.
greetings, Paco

Love the compilation, Els.
Just wanted to let you all know that we (sewing enthusiasts from Europe and some from US)are going on a get-together in Paris in november. Partly to chat, snoop-shop RTW and look at/shop for fabrics and partly to check out the Vionnet exhibition. Do join us if you can. http://sewing.patternreview.com/SewingDiscussions/topic/33038
