Where did that week go? More than a week really.... I have been busy starting a new quilt. It is not easy to demonstrate the colour. That is the beauty of these dark indigoes: they seem to have a changing mood. And I have mended a piece not suitable for the quilt and made a little bag. More of these coming as well I think.
Lucinda made this stunning Bravo Indigo quilt using a pattern designed by Nightingale Quilts. You can find the pattern here. I quilted it with the Whitecaps pantograph, used White So Fine thread and Quilters Dream 80/20 white batting. Finally some blue sky and calm winds to get outdoor quilt pictures. It has been a very slow spring melt here but the snow is disappearing.

Wa quilts В этом блоге, хотя он совершенно не рукодельный, очень хорошо объясняется, что есть "wa", правда на английском. Если суммировать то, что пишет автор, то "wa" - это префикс, означающий приналдежность к "родной" традиционной национальной Японской культуре. Cоответственно "wa quilts" - это квилты, сшитые в исконно Японском стиле, с определенным выбором тканей, цвета, часто из мельчайших деталей и лоскуточков. Сходите по ссылке, там есть фотографии таких квилтов с прошлогоднего шоу. I found a nice explanation of what are "wa" quilts in this blog post. Although not a crafty blog, the author shows many beautiful "wa" quilts from the last year Tokyo show - have a look. I will dare to post a quote about "wa" meaning here: "Wa is also a prefix that designates something belongs to native Japanese culture. Washoku is Japanese food, a washitsu is a room with tatami mat flooring and paper-screen doors, wafuku is clothing like kimono or jimbei, and waji are written characters that originated in Japan as opposed to being borrowed from the Chinese language. Wa quilts, therefore, use Japanese-style designs that do indeed maintain balance and harmony in a very non-Western way. The fabric in wa quilts are typically subdued colors, but rarely without a delicate pattern or texture. Patterns and motifs simultaneously achieve balance and movement. " Квилт-победитель шоу я уже показывала, его автор - Etsuko Misaka. Поймала себя на том, что постоянно возвращаюсь к его фотографии. Люблю. Grand prix-First Place quilt I've already shown, but because it is a "wa" quilt, I will show it again. Quilt by Etsuko Misaka. I love it. А это квилт с призом моих личных симпатий в категории "wa". Домики на квилтах - их никогда не будет много :-) This is my "wa" award :-) I don't think we can have enough of houses on the quilts :-) Официальное первое место в категории "Wa Quilts" - Teiko Saito. First Place in "Wa quilt" category - by Teiko Saito. Второе место в категории "Wa Quilts" - Chiemi Ishii. Полностью согласна - трапунто высокого уровня, потрясающе. Second Place in "Wa quilt" category - by Chiemi Ishii. Дальше просто фото участвовавших в этой категории квилтов. Some other wa quilts on the show. Мне вот этот квилт очень нравится - ракушечные лоскуточки, игра с цветом - чудо! I like this one very much! Shells, all sorts of indigo shades - great! "Houses in hometown" by Teruko Shibata: Необычная цветовая гамма, очень красивый квилт! Unusual colours, beautiful quilt. "Beyond the sea" by Noriko Hasegawa. "Country antique ZAKKA" by Mariko Akahori. "My life" by Keiko Minato. Квилт "Мираж", Shizuko Kuroha. Я еще напишу об этом чудесном мастере позже. "Mirage" by Shizuko Kuroha. I will post about one of my favorite artists more later. Ну что, остались квилты в рамках и оригинальный дизайн. До скорых встреч :-) I have a little bit more, so... see you soon :-)

Follow these tips for optimal results: 1. Wash separately: Wash garments separately from other items to avoid color bleeding. 2. Use cold water: Opt for cold water when washing to minimize color loss. Hot water can cause indigo dye to bleed and fade more rapidly. 3. Gentle cycle or handwash: Choose a gentle cycle on your washing machine or handwash the clothes to prevent unnecessary agitation and friction that may lead to color fading. 4. Use mild detergent: Use a mild detergent specifically formulated for delicate or colored fabrics. Harsh detergents can strip the dye and cause fading. 5. Turn inside out: Before washing, turn the clothes inside out. This helps protect the outer surface and minimize friction. 6. Air dry: Avoid using a dryer as the heat can cause the indigo dye to fade. By following these washing tips, you can help extend the lifespan of your clothes and preserve their beautiful hue. - Customer Support Guarantee: We prioritize exceptional customer support and have expanded our team in North America to provide better assistance across different time zones.
