Another Reserved Blossom Viewing

Today was the day for my regular quilting class, the first of two in April. The cherry trees on the way were still not fully blooming, although more than on Sunday.

Sensei has decided that we (her students) should do something special for the victims of Japan's triple tragedy, so she has gotten together appropriate fabric scraps and on Monday after meeting for lunch together at a reasonably priced local restaurant we will walk together to Mama san to see the famous, ancient weeping cherry tree and then spend the afternoon making small fabric drawstring bags (kinchyaku) to send to Tohoku.

You know, if those cherry trees had been in bloom on time they would have been blasted apart by the wind we had. I bet those bags will be a going item.
