On the subject of stacking fabric repeats, you can use a micro gun through reference points or a vertical pin then pin on either side. I love the insights into Japanese life and flowers on your blog.Quayquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563998466278656599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-37803063818406447132012-10-15T14:00:15.194-07:002012-10-15T14:00:15.194-07:00Hi Julie, it is a great lesson: to be organized.

I can picture the beautiful yukata fabrics being sold on one the narrow street of Shimokitazawa. Your scraps of will make a very lovely table runner. Thank you for sharing the history of those buildings.

I have Blue Willow dishes in the china cabinet beside my table so these blues would set off the color of the dishes beautifully and what could be better than Japanese fabrics beside my Japanese dishes (mine were the ones made in Japan back in the 50s/60s. I loved seeing your pictures of the school activities. They brought back memories of my grammar school days when we had a spring festival with music and a may pole. blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.com
