  NOTE: This is a ZOOM ONLY Meeting

  

  This presentation is similar to the one Pat gave to DVQ in 2021, but includes the growth and changes of quilting in Japan in general and especially after COVID. Japanese/oriental fabrics have taken on a new excitement in the US and Europe, especially sashiko and big stitch. Patricia will take us on a flashback of the Tokyo Quilt Festival, and a tour of the Yokohama 2024 Quilt Show. She will end with a show of her own quilts made from vintage Japanese cottons, and what fabrics inspire her today.

  You will only get the Zoom link for general meetings if you register at least 24 hours before the event! Don't delay.... register today.
