Thank you for sharing the show experience!The taupe quilts are absolutely beautiful...Especially that Blue Forest quilt. It is really nice to see some colorful quilts too- like the Wreath and Small Birds with its blue background - that is such a pretty quilt. Also, the quilting on the Amish quilt is truly amazing. Wish we were there.Quilt Inspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11976052222538291847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-46429110881964129212014-01-26T09:43:18.693-08:002014-01-26T09:43:18.693-08:00Gorgeous quilts!!

Your comment about all the labels and the catalogue only being available in Japanese set me thinking. I wonder whether catalogues to the Festival of Quilts for example or any of the other big shows here are available in languages other than English, the labelling certainly isn't. Thank you for your translations, maybe you could get yourself a job with NHK!!

I have only recently been reading and researching about Japanese quilting, and thinking how fabulous it would be to go to Japan on a textile/quilt tour. The Japanese aesthetic is so beautiful. I have even been trying my hand at sashiko after going to a recent workshop, and becoming obsessed with boro!

The two last ones I can't recollect!! My guess is that Harmony towards Reconstruction is a quilt made alongside the reconstruction work of the tsunami hit Tohoku district.<br />Looking forward to another trip down Memory Lane.<br />ps.
