Yokohama Quilt Week 2011

"Festival!"
I was able to visit this annual show sponsored by Patchwork Tsushin Magazine with my quilting Sensei again this year. I took photos of many of the pieces where photography was permitted.  You can view them in my Picasa Photo Gallery. The quickest way to get there from here is to click on one of the slide shows running to the right.

As always, from the first time I saw a quilt made by a Japanese artisan sometime in the 1990's, I was totally impressed by the tremendous amount of work that went into the individual works. Also the great artistic sense, the freedom to experiment, and tendency to intense detail. Take a look, and see if you don't agree.

You seem to have found a lot more to photograph than I did. I thinnk this is one show that has improved over the years.
