My brothers and I would sing happy birthday, blow out the candle so our dog could eat his hot dog with gravy that was suppose to be red.<br />I am in love with the "Thankful Gift". Gorgeous applique work. And the "Turkish Blue Tile" and "Snow Angel" - beautiful!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803925425249925354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-88599138898281608182014-02-17T05:59:19.602-08:002014-02-17T05:59:19.602-08:00Happy birthday to your daughter, the plum has perf...Happy birthday to your daughter, the plum has perfect timing. I am exhausted by your report, the detail in those quilts is amazing, I don't believe those Japanese quilters ever sleep. Thank you for the close ups, they take my breath away.

I live in Houston, but I was there for the show this year. I am actually writing a book about contemporary Japanese quilts. A couple of the quilts that caught your eye also caught mine, but you also found some different ones that I didn't stop at. Sooo many to see!

Good to work all together, around such a beautiful project...<br />Oh, Julie, the quilts you're showing from the Tokyo Dome are SOOOO amazing !<br />I wonder how long it takes those talented ladies to complete such works of art ?<br />You're right : I'd find it so hard to choose a winner among those quilts!<br />Yet, some of them particularly touched me, such as :<br />- "Snow Angel"<br />-"Misty Floral"<br />- "Bo Tree"<br />- and, of course, those really cuuuute umbrellas ! *Ü* (wish I could make an umbrellas quilt, but I'm such a poor designer - Maybe there's an existing umbrellas appliqué pattern, somewhere??).<br />I was particularly touched by the effort of encouraging young people to take on quilting. This is so important...<br />It doesn't seem to be so, here : our quiltshop bees are full of "old" ladies, "marinating" into their self content, and even considering their skills as "secret" (?!?!). No offense at all, they're quite nice and talented... but don't you EVER propose any quilting bee on a single project ! "Everyone's own project" seems to be the motto. Too bad...<br />Personnally, I also regret the fact that none of my 2 busy daughters are not interested at all in learning to quilt. Actually, I'm the only quilter in our big family and everyone is talking about "Nadine, with her little bits and pieces"... *Ü*<br />Thank You Internet for letting me be part of the real quilters world and, above all, Thank YOU, dear Julie for the inspiration you provide through your blog !<br /><br />Enjoy your sewing, dear,<br />XOXOXOXOXO<br />NADINE<br /><br />PS : that Rodin snow sculpture is amazing, too !<br /><br />NADINEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18040420936461300331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-40662848117010801242014-02-14T00:25:57.541-08:002014-02-14T00:25:57.541-08:00Thank you so much for your posts about this festiv...Thank you so much for your posts about this festival!!!
