Before launching into the stories of my trip, the wonderful shops I visited, the quilts I saw and the people I met; I thought I'd show you some of the goodies that I've brought home to work with. I have so many great stories to share and places to recommend, but I'm still feeling a bit of jet lag. Honestly, a pair of toothpicks to prop my eyes open would be so handy right now.
I did a spot of shopping on this trip, mostly at the Yokohama Quilt Show. I bought some new-to-me prints, old favorites and scale-changed reprints of some old favorites too. I went with a plan of buying mustard, coral and charcoal. I came home with mostly light turquoise and lime. With vacation fabric shopping, you are at the mercy of what's available when you visit. With Japan, you know there's always going to be something good.
Stories about these fabrics, the designers and the shops to follow soon!
happy crafting,
