FAMOUS QUILT EXHIBITION PART II: NORIKO NOZAWA

Noriko Nozawa is a Japanese quilter.  Wow!  Her quilts are amazing and inspirational.  I spent a lot of time looking at these.  I think just about all her quilts on show had been in Houston or in the Yokohama show in Japan.  It was easy to see why they were in the shows.  Sadly, there was no information available about her in English.

This quilt is titled,  METRO, Where Do You Go From Now On?

This is a wonderful quilt.  Like most of her other quilts on display, it has so much hidden away.  Each time Iris and I went back to look at it, we saw something else.

Luckily I had Iris with me, so she soon worked out that the coloured lines were the New York subway, and that the black and brown background, is a map of Manhattan and er, well other places in New York (sorry I forget and don't want to say the wrong ones!).

FAMOUS QUILT EXHIBITION PART I: SHIMA MICHIKO

Surely only in Asia, could a quilt show be called Famous Quilt Exhibition! 

Shima Michiko was one of the two Japanese quilters, whose work was on display at the Janome offices in Bangkok.  Her quilts are typically Japanese, with the use of kimono and obi fabric as the main fabrics.

The Coven On Weber Canyon Road

The first quilt of the new year, or should that be the final quilt of the last year?!

The Coven on Weber Canyon Road, is based on the holiday I took with Janice and Mary in Utah last year.  Weber Canyon Road is up where Janice & Roger's cabin is, and the quilt is based on an actual barn.
