Quilt Patterns in Japan

These are patterns I found where we are staying at Takayama.
One was taken in the lift and the hall carpet and another one is from a large mat in the main lounge.
It seems inspiration for quilts can be found everywhere.

Japan Holiday

I am in Japan on holidays with my sister Leanne who is a Japanese language teacher. We are wearing ourselves out sightseeing.
I couldn't believe it when we found an actual patchwork shop today. This is Leanne's sixth visit to Japan and she has never seen one before.
The photo with the Cherry Blossoms over the Canal with a swan gracefully moving along was a beautiful sight.
The other photo is of me learning to use chopsticks.

Fairies

This pretty quilt was finished with loopy meander and stars.



Charity Quilt

This quilt was made by my friend Maxine to be used in a fundraising night for a boy who needs some assistance. I was happy to quilt it for her. The pictures show the front and the back. It was quilted in an Edge to Edge floral.







Celebration Bunting Quilt

I have finished the quilting on this one over the weekend. The pictures show the front and back. I am delighted with it. I admit though, I don't enjoy the cutting out and piecing side of patchwork. The pattern is Celebration Bunting Quilt by Melly & Me.The fabric is Where The Wind Blows also by Melly and Me. It would have to be my favorite fabric.
