I'm all but finished with my "optional, extra" quilting of the Wandering Way, or Winding Ways.
Grandma Mary Lou loved it:
My Mom loved it and so do I. It is the one quilt I brought in my luggage and I'm so glad I did. It has felt like an ESSENTIAL these past three months.
Not perfect. Soft and functional. Pure comfort and will only age into more beauty. So, I count it as wabi sabi.
This shows its true color:
I love my simple needle book from the V&A:
And my little pouch from Gotemba, Japan. There is something so nice, paring down to really just these few essential tools for hand quilting.
Hazy Tokyo days -
And rainy season has begun -
The Shrine in our old neighborhood, Azabu-Juban:
The requisite sushi, and I even liked it:
Who can't use a little gelato at the end of a long Tokyo day?
And one last essential - a HOME. We have found a permanent apartment, in this building not far from our temporary place, and we will move in first week in July. Hurray! So ready to be out of suitcases!
