Patchwork and Quilting  |  March 2015
This month we’ve themed our projects and features with a taste of the Orient. Our projects include Oriental Blue, which uses a new fabric collection from Makower inspired by blue and white porcelain. We have some cute Omiagi Bags which are a great introduction to the art of Sashiko and who can resist the Little Oriental Village Miniature? We revisit a past project with Japanese Delight which uses lovely Japanese fabrics and we have a delightful appliqué wall hanging Tranquil Kōhaku. Our features include a shopping trip with a difference with Lets Go Shopping to Tokyo, where Judi Mendelssohn discovers some quilters’ delights in Japan’s capital. We find out how to Downsize as we discover more about the Quilters’ Guild Miniatures group and we also hear from Susan Briscoe on her adventures in Japan as she accompanies work from the Scottish Loch Lomond Sashiko Guild to a Sashiko Exhibition. We Meet Yoko Saito; Japanese quilter, author and teacher, as she gives a rare interview and we find out more about the historically important and inspirational Changi Quilts made by prisoners in Changi prison in the 1940s.
