I enjoyed the exhibit from the
Modern Quilt Studio. I love the color palette!

Frustrating as ever to not have the English text printed, when the text surely originated in English!

I loved this one. It is so well balanced, with wonderfully colorful yet calm color palette, simple machine quilting.

I wish I'd taken a close up shot. It is one layer, very transparent and airy.
There was a vendor area as well. I have to admit I loved seeing a Bernina presence:

Last but not least, I adored this fun (FUN!) woolen quilt by Hiromi Yokota

Carin asked me which one is my favorite. Impossible question. They are just so charming and sweet.

That's the end of this small sampling of some favorites from the festival.
Back in real life, David and I have started looking for an apartment. I loved stumbling across a really big old tree, in the heart of a busy Tokyo neighborhood:
Til next time,
