The Tokyo International Quilters is really the collected remnants of assorted quilt groups. When you live in a place like Tokyo, you say good-bye, it seems, more than you say hello and we have said plenty of good-byes. Still a small core of avid quilters remains and we meet every-other-Friday at one of the member's homes and enjoy quilting, fellowship, obento, and dessert.
Yesterday I arrived a bit late and found, to my extreme joy, a very special visitor ...a kindred spirit, really... I had not seen in months. It was all I could do to tear myself away at the end of the afternoon.
I will need to buy more green thread to finish sewing the leaves but I spent the time sewing a two-inch border outside the bear paw blocks. I think this not only brings a bit of the orange and yellow to the edge but helps to control those bears who were flexing their seems and behaving like twelve and a half wannabes.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your quilts are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI had a great time at TIQC too. I apologized to Y. for only talking/being interested in you and what you had to say. Wish I could come to more of the meetings, but Friday is really hard. Trust we can figure something else out. Visit me at: jyojasjapanjournal.blogspot.com (badly in need of an update) -Georgia
