Tokyo Quilt Festival Part 3
Another day of visual overload so time to share some more. I will again need to do two posts as there are about 170 photos so enjoy it all as I have. I am once again so sorry that I have not acknowledged the maker but all being in Japanese makes it a little difficult. I also had to take many side views because of the spectators……………
And this was the Best of Show/Grand Prix winner……….(and I was glad the maker was in English as well)
Soem of the original design awards……….
The remaining quilts are in no particular order but just some that I liked…how hard that is as they were all wonderful. And in many I've done the whole quilt and then some close-ups………..
And just take note that nearly ALL these quilts were entirely made by hand! More shortly x

thanks once again for sharing - even though I am not there as many others are not - we can at least get a feeling for what is shown - I'm so glad to see hand quilting and hand work is not dead!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those quilts are amazing. I wish I was there
ReplyDeleteWow! These quilters must be on steroids - such awesome work! And all by hand. They are way ahead of us - well, not you, Michele.
ReplyDeleteFor good or bad, Japanese believe quilt making is hand sewing. I don't know why. I started quilt making after I moved to Ireland and I am very happy to do it with machine. Only hand sewing I would do is needle turn applique which I think look nicer than fused ones.
ReplyDeleteThat red and white quilt with the flower border is exactly my cup of tea. Beautiful quilts, all of them.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! So many ideas I want to borrow and adapt!
