We were invited by the Selcuk Municipality on 4-8 September 2007 to display some of our award winning quilts at the Selcuk-Efes Festival. It was for sure the most widely attended exhibition I have ever had.
Following members of GC Patchwork Studio participated in the exhibition:
My punch book was published in September 2007 and was first sold at the 39th International Handcraft Festival of Selcuk.

We have moved to our new studio in July 2006. During the summer break with my assistant Nilgun Tufekci we have done the decoration of the studio with various quilting techniques. We managed to create quite a peaceful atmosphere after all our efforts. Hopefully this will get reflected in our success with international exhibitions!
We have monthly courses to enrich our patchwork projects such as ribbon embroidery (by instructor Mrs.Tulin Alacaatli ) and Russian punch needle embroidery by myself.
Ten of our members were awarded a certificate as a result of completing their basic education.
Four of our members were awarded for their success in international exhibitions.
