We have an awful lot of things to do for the upcoming show held at TOKYO DOME! New lovely kits will come out, if you go there, please don't forget to stop by our booth, A-5.
The show asked some Japanese quilt artists to give lessons and Masako will teach Punchneedle on the 26th of January (Saturday) from 2 to 4pm.
We can not believe that we only have almost 3 weeks left this year. Once the new year "2013" begins, there is the biggest quilt show in Japan, called Tokyo International Great Quilt Festival . So we are now busy with preparations ... New kits will come out. You will love them!
Lately we have new fabrics, buttons and laces arriving in the store. If you find something you like, please contact me at office@crib.co.jp !
As one of annual events, we visited Ishinomaki to give a lesson at Yoko's quilt shop, NASA, at the end of November.
Once we opened its door, students and wonderful homemade meals, were waiting for us to arrive!
After having lunch with all of them (time quickly passed by chatting!), we began the lesson to make a pouch!
We have to introduce this adorable girl to you :-) She is a granddaughter of one of the students and one and 3 months old. Her name is Mei.
She could play by herself with some pictures books and toys ... but her favorite was my smart phone. She seemed to know how to use it already!
Many of the students could finish the top of the pouch and looked happy to take them home. Some of them still live in a temporary house as they lost their houses because of tsunami. A town looked like getting back to normal, but they still have a lot of issues which are unsolved yet. Most importantly we should not forget about the tsunami and them.
