As most of you know, the very strong hurricane called IRENE made landfall in New Jersey, the east coast of the US.
I heard that New York City ordered citizens to evacuate.
We all hope it will not cause a disaster.
One of our American friends, her name is Irene. She emailed me to tell me that she got a lot of teasing from her friends, like " Are you working hard?".
She lives in an area which is on a way the hurricane is predicted to pass.
It might produce flooding rains, downed trees and widespread power outrages.
Hope everything will be fine.
I will participate in a pink ribbon event which occurs at the Nihombashi Takashimaya department store in the middle of October, where 5 artists including me will show and sell each work as a charity.
We had the first meeting yesterday.
We also had our film taken, which will play at the event!
I got so nervous!
Here is a detail of the event below.
Place: Nihombashi Takashimaya department store
Duration: October 12- 18 10am - 8pm ( final day closed at 4pm)
We plan to give each workshop every day so please come by for a visit and check it out!
Kaoru who always supports my activity, and her friends got together for sewing hexagonal pieces to make our 3rd pink ribbon quilt.
We plan to exhibit the finished quilt at a pink ribbon event in November and it will go to an organization called " Wing Kyoto" later.
Look at one of students from our course in Osaka.
She made a cute dress using our fabric "American Country Homespun".
It really looked nice on her!
There is the statue on the way to a hotel ( where I give a lesson in Osaka) from Osaka station.
It is called "Billiken". It looks very Asian, but originally it was created by an American female artist!
His arms are short, so good lucks will be brought to you if you scratch a sole of his foot.
We had a visitor from Thailand yesterday. It was one of incredibly hot days ... It must have been so tiring for her to come to CRIB QUILT. Thanks for coming!
I hope she will have a great time in Tokyo and a safe flight back to Thailand.
Hello everyone!
It is Miu again.
Many Japanese people take summer vacation around this time because of one of traditional customs called "Obon".
What about you? Maybe Westerns tend to take a long holiday in July?
It has been incredibly hot these days. Sometimes we reach 39 degrees, that is insane!
They easily lose their appetite because of this heat.
But I don't!
Do you give me my favorite, Katsuobushi ?
By the way, I had my hair cut. Actually I was trimmed ... too short for me!!!
Please sit back and relax and take some rest ... like me!
I am making various 7cm x 7cm sized patterns for my new quilt!
Now everybody may take a long summer vacation, but CRIB QUILT don't!
We are open for you except Saturdays and Sundays :-)
Please stop by if you come in the neighbourhood.
Every time we participate in the quilt show held in Alsace region, we always stay at a nice and cozy private house run by a couple of Mr. and Mrs. Didier.
Last time ( it was September 2010) we stayed there, they had their 50th wedding anniversary during the quilt show. They always stayed up late until we got home to hear what the show was like, but the night before, Gerard told us that they might have got home later than us because they had a journey of the Orient express to celebrate it! How romantic!
Then they gave me a picture of them at the wedding ( 50 years ago) and a recent one.
So we promised them to make a scrap book for the anniversary. We are so excited to see them again next month!
Some fabrics from the US are now available online too.
Please check it!
If you would like to buy, please contact me at office@crib.co.jp!
