Japanese kimono silk
I have seen it used in some of the kaffe fassett quilts and it is stunning.
Roberta in Melbourne "Johanna Gibson" wrote in message ... Hello, Some of you may know I've been helping out with my friend Keiko's triplets for nearly a year now. Keiko often has live-in helpers from Japan who stay for 6 months or so, helping with the day-to-day routine of living with 3 babies, while I come along in the evenings to help with the dinner/bath/bedtime routine. One of Keiko's friends has sent me some kimono silk, after discovering I like to sew! I have two pieces of salmon/pink with red and white flowers, one of lavender/white with pink and red flowers and one red with white and taupe flowers. I have no idea what to make with silk! Akiko also sent a book of Japanese fashion sewing, with pictures of bags, hats and a cute little stuffed cat. I did have the idea of making a little cat out of the pink silk and sending it back to say, "Thank you!" I need ideas of what to do with this silk, to do it justice. -- Jo in Scotland |

Japanese kimono silk
When working with silk, remember that it unravels something dreadful.
I use iron on stabilizer when using it in quilts. |
