Ура! Ура! Я его доделала!!!!! Не прошло и полгода)))) Честно говоря он мне напоминает рыбацкую хижину! Вот и для антуража я выбрала ткани типа песок и море. А рядышком еще маяк пристроился, ну точно поэма морская Начало было здесь Детальки по ближе Вид на крепление крыши к стенам На берегу морском))) В книге была еще пуговка, чтобы закрывать шкатулку. Но я ее не стала делать, и так хорошо)))) Фух! Одним долгостроем меньше! Надо до НГ долги подбивать
This exhibit at the quilt show in Houston was entitled “Yoko Saito Through the Years, My Quilt Journey”. Her quilts are absolutely stunning...
At the 20th European Patchwork Meeting in Alsace, France, Quiltmania presented an exhibition called "50 Variations of Yoko Saito's Mystery Quilt", which was published in Quiltmania magazine during 2012. The original quilt was displayed amongst the reproductions or variations of this appliqué masterpiece as well as one entry which is a miniature version. I only had a very short time to take these photos, so apologise that I did not have time to take a photo of each one, or record the maker of each quilt. I have started my own version of this quilt during 2012, so to see all these wonderful quilts in one place was just amazing. I do hope you all enjoy seeing how different each one is: The Original Mystery Quilt by Anneke Bos This one by Toussein Martine: and this is the miniature version by Michele Armanet, France Miniature mystery quilt, only 58cm x 69cm I hope anyone contemplating making one of these will have plenty of inspiration above. If anyone knows the maker of any of the above quilts, please contact me and I will happily add their details to their quilt.

....marvelous family time. It was all over so fast. It has snowed all day, and I have been loving it. Tomato soup and grilled cheese for dinner tonight. I've spent the day decorating for the season. It is always so enjoyable to pull out winter quilts, pillows, and decorations, and become familiar with everything all over again. I feel so cozy and peaceful tonight, and thankful for a warm home and food to eat......blessings in abundance. It often takes a while for some of the first snows to stick and accumulate. The ski resorts are getting bunches. It's simply magical......when it is fresh and clean. and before it get's dirty. This is my big brother and I. This little quilt is back at home now, so I was delighted to present it to my brother.......and happy to report that he was thrilled with it. This is one of the days in which I spent way too much time in my jammies. Tis' the Season! I will start sharing photos from the International Quilt Market. These lovely women with me are starting from the right, Karen Whitmeyer, Patti Richter, and Julie Kursave. There was a fantastic super market a few blocks from the convention center, and we enjoyed lunching together there. I purchased an amazing and beautiful book from Quilt Mania featuring the work of Yoko Saito. It is called Scrap Valley. This is two of the incredibly beautiful quilts found in the book. This one designed by Yoko is called Flower Garden. I love the muted colors. Truly a masterpiece! It was sewn by Junko Kobayashi. This one is called 3955 Pieces. This design of Yoko's was sewn by Tomiko Ohta. I was really smitten by this one. It seemed to be hand pieced. When I grow up, I would like to make this quilt! :-) I have received my official invitation from Quilt Mania to visit France, next April for their quilt festival held in Nantes. I will be teaching 2 classes and signing books. I am so thrilled, I pinch myself on occasion to remind myself that this is real.

Hello again. I hope you enjoyed yesterday's quick tour of some of the inspiring quilts from the recent Pour l'Amour du Fil show. If so, there is a further treat in store as I will now post photos of the gorgeous quilts designed and/or made by Yoko Saito featured in her new book Scrap Valley, which is published by Quiltmania. This post is going to be heavy on photos, light on text, so feast your eyes! I know I've said before that I am not mad keen on hexagons in the traditional Grandmother's Flower Garden arrangement - well, this is a glorious exception, just look at all those wonderful taupes. This was a cushion cover: tiny quilting stitches. Look how randomly she has cut from the striped fabric, and yet it works brilliantly. This one is called Blazing Sun. This is a small section of a beauty called Checkerboard, and before you start thinking about quick ways to strip piece it, you need to know that the squares measure about half an inch and they are all pieced over papers and whip stitched together with tiny stitches! These are not the hands of Yoko Saito herself but of her assistant who was patiently sewing together the tiny squares into rows. This quilt is titled 3955 pieces! It almost looks like a crocheted blanket at a distance with the dog tooth borders to the blocks. The close ups show the exquisite hand quilting which overlays the piecing, different for each block. Next is a wonderful bed quilt, entitled Kindness, which is in a soft palette. Meticulous applique and perfect feathered stars enhanced with beautiful hand quilting and embroidery. And the piece de resistance, to my mind, was this quilt in a rather unusual palette of greys and blues, not at all what I expected from Yoko Saito, but totally stunning in terms of its design and execution. This was quite a large quilt and, so far as I could see, the design did not repeat: all the applique flowers are different and they are embellished with a variety of embroidery stitches. There are birds and insects worked into the layout too, and then the whole thing is quilted freely. Exquisite. I think that a number of these astonishing quilts may be designed by Yoko Saito but made by other Japanese ladies. You would need to look at the book to be sure. Certainly I would need a number of lifetimes to be able to make all these beauties, and of course a massive transfusion of skill and Japanese sensibility! I have also included a few random pics of other quilts which took my eye for one reason or another; most of these are by Japanese quiltmakers showing the same devotion to their craft. Apart from the intricate piecing and applique, one of the striking characteristics of all these diverse quilts is that they are hand quilted, which gives them the most wonderful texture. I am now seriously reconsidering handquilting one or two of my pending quilts.... And here are a few quilts from Linda Koenig's stand which were rather more within my reach and skill level. And to finish, three quilts from recent issues of Quiltmania or its sister publication Simply Vintage which I might even think about making one day... Well done if you made it through to the end. I hope you don't have visual indigestion. As you can probably tell, I had a totally wonderful time at this show. I have posted only a fraction of the photos I took, and those photos recorded only a small part of all that there was to see. The stalls of the vendors were beautiful too with lovely samples to tempt us. I have put next year's date in my 2017 diary.
