| detail from "Hide and Seek" by Megumi Mizuno |
A wonderful exhibit of "new quilt works" by 50 quilt artists. Here were some of my favorites:
"This is Fun II" by Kiyoko Goto:
"Tree of Life" by Mitsuyo Akita
Loved how she depicted animals in the trunk and root system.
"Hide and Seek" by Megumi Mizuno, one of my favorites in the whole show - a real "must see"!
Again, really wish I could read all the text on the cards at this "international" show! But at least here we have titles and makers.
I mean, adorable! And so so special.
Onigiri - rice balls - just the cutest!
So fun to determine which "one of these things is not like the others" -
I couldn't wait to show Julie this quilt!
Now, HERE are some pretty, sweet, detailed, gorgeous hearts:
OK, on to some other quilts in the "New Works" exhibit - this one by Kumiko Fujita, called "Japanese Patterns"
I liked this one a lot - Tokyo Winter by Yoshiko Kurihara
"Tree of Happiness" by Noriko Inafune:
My iphone photo definitely does not do this one justice. It was just such a breath of fresh air - just lovely. "Infinity" by Korean quilter Kim Sa-Sook
I have to include this boro style quilt - Home in My Heart by Yoneko Maruya
It's almost impossible to capture the indigo in a photograph.
Another indigo quilt. Hope by Keiko Morishita:
Lovely combination of hand quilting and sashiko.
More indigo and "Wa" tomorrow!
