I have now been to the quilt show 3 times! I went to the opening, and then on Tuesday with two non-quilting friends, and yesterday I "worked," or as we call it "sat the show." I have taken many photos and decided to break them down into several posts. Today I am focusing on the Asian-style quilts. Living here in Hawaii, we have a strong relationship with "The East" and it is always fun to see those quilts.
This one (above) was done by a dentist in the Air Force. Both he and his wife quilt! Another surprise I got from my husband was when he looked at it and said, "Someone's been doing a lot of fussy-cutting!"
This one is actually a panel that was purchased in Japan. The quilter used the open space in the printed blocks to do sashiko. The results are amazing and you can't tell it is a panel at all.
More sashiko. I got a kit while I lived here. It is still in the package. Maybe I will try it soon.
Aloha,

Your hubby is too funny! I guess he's been paying attention, huh!?! Sweet!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt show. It always amazes me when I hear my husband repeating "quilt talk" he hears from me or my quilting buddies. Nice to know they really do listen to our ramblings eh?
