I had the joy of meeting up with one of my favorite Tentmakers from Cairo, Egypt at the Daytona Beach AQS Show. This is Tarek with one of his beautiful designs!!

I just HAD to add to my collection. I actually added two pieces. The blue lotus flowers was by Tarek and the next design was done by Hosam.

It is so difficult to decide which ones to choose. Here is another beauty!

If your guild is looking for an unusual program, look no further. I have a lecture/trunk show on the Egyptian Tentmakers Applique. I share my experience of living in Egypt and meeting the Tentmakers. I bring my beautiful pieces as well. It is always fun for me to get out these beauties and share them in person. One of the oldest forms of applique!

Tips for this week.

1 – Don’t pass up the Tentmakers at a show. They have their amazing pieces to share and sell. I love to watch them work. They are great to answer questions!

2 – BUY a Tentmaker piece. They are treasures to own and you will help support the art and lives of the Tentmakers themselves!
