Tokyo International Quilt Show 2016
Just returned from the 2016 Tokyo International Quilt Show at the Tokyo Dome, again inspiring. Twelve of us travelled this year and we enjoyed seeing old friends, and viewing the spectacular variety of quilts exhibited by our Japanese quilters.

The 2016 Japan Group
|
While in Tokyo we did the essential trip to Fabric Town in Nippori, and snapped up many bargains. Those small purchases added up to metres and metres of patchwork fabric and old kimonos, all to be carried home of the plane, then added to existing large bulging cupboards.
A highlight was the trip to Niigata and a Chiku Chiku class with Akiko Ike. We travelled in the snow and visited her reconstructed Japanese house near the beach, and shared a delicious lunch prepared by her Japanese students and friends. It was traditional Japanese food and the company warm and friendly even with the language difficulties.
Just contact Fabric with Panache if you are interested in a 7 day trip to Japan.
Visit by Akiko Ike - September 2015
Visit by Akiko Ike and her daughter Tomoko to Queensland and New South Wales
All five classes, held at Maleny, Noosa, Crows Nest, Brisbane and Berry were highly successful, with each participant finishing a Chiku Chiku pouch.
Kits included old traditional Japanese fabrics, and the backing used was Japanese Mosquito netting. Each pouch was individual and personalised.
Sashiko threads, thicker in texture, were hand-dyed by Akiko from her shop in Niigata.
Hiroe Mogi was the interpreter.
Jan Scudamore made the quilt which was presented to Akiko as the gift from Australia.
Thank you to everyone who supported the workshops.
