Tokyo Quilt Show

"Wishes" by Yoko Ueda - in response to 3/11
The Great Tokyo International Quilt Festival draws huge crowds every January.  I went twice and it was exhausting, but inspiring.




  I was happy to be tall while navigating my way through the crushing crowds at the vendor area!


This year the show included many quilts created in response to 3/11 -  the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.  Here are several I thought RSS students would like:

"Life Goes On" by Akane Sakamoto

"With a Single Mind" by Misaki Okabe

"You Are Not Alone" by Ryoko Fujimoto
 (I included more of these 3/11 quilts on my other blog:  aquilterbynight.blogspot.com.)
