attention quilters in Germany

A member of my quilt guild will be in Germany the last two weeks in
September. She is bringing her mother back so they can visit all the
places she and family members lived and record her mother's memories
of WWII.

My friend would love to visit at least one quilt shop in Germany and
bring home some German fabrics for a memory quilt. Could you give her
an idea of where to find quilt shops in any of the following towns?
(Please forgive my spelling as I can't read her writing very well and
don't have time to look them up in the atlas). If any of you live in
these towns and would be willing to take her to a quilt store or meet
her there I could send a package with her.

Munich
Erfurt
Lunebing
Dortmund
Saarlonis
Dusseldorf (won't be there for very long)

Dear Susan,
unfortunately I'm a bit far from all these places .
And as far as Munich is concerned, Roberta's the specialist :-))

I looked up quiltshops in a German online group:

Düsseldorf:
Schmidt Handarbeiten 03-03
Mike Schmidt
Kölner Landstr. 202 Duesseldorf phone: 0211 - 763813
open 9-5, closed wednesday and saturday afternoon
---------
Patchwork & Geschenkartikel Benderstr. 101 A
Düsseldorf phone: 0211 - 289 0482

Dortmund:
Stoffquadrat 03-03,Heike Kunz,Kleppingstrasse 28,Dortmund,
phone: 0231 - 527294 tue-Fr 10-1 + 2p.m.-6p.m. Sat.
10am-2pm
and
www.quiltcabin.de

I didn't find any more in this list, but I'll post a question in this
Yahoo-Group. I'll let you know, if I get more addresses.

Probably this isn't an option, but the Carrefour European Patchwork
Exhibition will be 13-16 September. This takes place south of
Strasbourg, France in the Silver valley. Unfortunately the website
seems to be down, the link I saved doesn't work anymore.

What I forgot to tell :-))
This exhibition must be kind of special. The quilts are shown in
several small villages in churches ( free shuttle busses ) . There are
many art quilts. Unfortunately I haven't been able to attend it yet
and probably won't be this year.

I live outside Munich. There's a dedicated quilting store in the middle of
the city, plus another great store with interesting fabrics in easy reach.
But genuine German fabrics are not too common. Westphalen Stoff is about the
only quilt-weight fabric still made here (lovely woven stripes and checks),
and the LQS owner stopped carrying it -she thought they had become
unreliable suppliers. She now carries some very beautiful Indian-made woven
stripes.

But back to your question: of course I would be happy to meet your friends
and take them around the city (walking only! Bring comfy shoes!) Contact me
privately.
