Just a few more favorites from the show! Julie (My Quilt Diary), Carin (Queeniepatch), and Tanya (Taniwa) have a better eye towards the traditional quilts, and it's really worth checking out their blog posts! You can find them in my sidebar! They also have a much better shot at translating the Japanese names and quilt titles.
In these categories, there was no English on the cards.
How's this for a house quilt (?!)
"I Live on Earth" by ______?
"Life" by _____? Wish I'd taken more photos. I loved this one.
I think this went together "potholder" style - what do you think?
"Ariki Street" by Chikaku Ueno, one of Julie F's friends:
The narrowest of sashing, and most beautiful quilting:
"Be at the crossroads" by _____? I think it has a "boro" look, but neat and sharp. And the persimmon color is so important.
Inventive machine quilting:
"Mother's Everyday" by _____? A young mom's day, in chronological order.
"Happy Village" by Nam KyungSook
This whimsical alphabet quilt is in a "taupe" style.
Pieces of Dreams by Yang GyeongMi:
So traditional, and so special. Each little block is a small masterpiece,
And the variegated hexagon border is so special:
Another one in the traditional category - just amazing - so carefully planned out, to get the colorful interlocking rings:
Just look at all this embroidery!
There you have it! What a week - the best. I'm measuring my time in Japan by "how many more Tokyo Dome Quilt Shows will I see?" - two or three;). Time to recover a bit and turn to my own simple projects.
