Roberta in D It is very interesting to see how other cultures approach quilting. I loved some of them. They appear to have become enamored with applied embroidery which is something I am not familiar with. Very challenging, the mixing of two disciplines. It gives me room for thought as to a new direction. Thanks for the link. John |

oh, wow, such a gorgeous group of photos. A lot of inspiration/
motivation/prespiration there. I loved the butterfly one. I wonder how long it takes these people to do their work? how many hours? Do they work outside the home? When I lived in Los Angeles, my quilting teacher had wives of the Toyota Corporation as students. They knew little English when they started with us, but learned quickly the language and the finer points of quilting. They did most by hand then. They were completely taken with my hem stitch [my mother taught me, I know no other and use it for needle turn applique also]. Their work back then in 1996 was awesome. The executives would rotate a year and a half in US then back to Japan. I wonder if any of those wives were the ground floor for the movement of Japanese quilting as we see it now....

I was wondering how much quilting I could do if I didn't have a yard to
tend. Not working outside the home would help too but these folks have a lot of motivation. Time alone isn't going to do it. It is impressive. Makes me think about how poorly I utilize my time.

Thank you, Roberta. I needed a quiet escape from the mayhem here in my
world. That was lovely. Polly "Ginger in CA" wrote in message ... oh, wow, such a gorgeous group of photos. A lot of inspiration/ motivation/prespiration there. I loved the butterfly one.

How very beautiful. Thanks Roberta. One I wanted to make -
immediately!! I bet you could even guess which one g. One I bought have tried to acquire by any means possible - the glorious, cream confection. I imagine it isn't a wholecloth, but it is a single colour. I loved just everything about it. ..
