mini exhibition of handkercheifs

Last Saturday late afternoon we visited a gallery called "Y" which is owned by Yukiko Ogura who is one of well known Japanese embroidery artists, to check the mini exhibition of handkerchiefs.

She has a wonderful friend who is a French artist, Fanny Viollet.
Both of them hurt their feelings because of the disaster on Mar.11 and decided to design a handkerchief for a charity. 

They sell a set of printed ones that come with each design.

working on ...

I started working on making new quilt whose deadline is the end of October!
Stay tuned!

In front of NASA

This is the exact same place where last time we took the picture. (click it) 

Yoko's mother has been doing well too.

After the workshop, Yoko took us to the top of a mountain where we could see down a shoreline.

It used to be an usual town where many houses were built.

Look at it ... You might be able to find some houses. They look normal, but you will find out everything on the first floor was washed away because of the tsunami, if you get closer.

Time has stopped since then for many people living in Ishinomaki.

We wish if we could bring them smiles with a quilt!

Thank you very much, Yoko and her wonderful customers!

3 beautiful quilts

There were 3 beautiful quilts in Yoko's shop.

The first one was hanging on the wall.

The second one was quilted by Yoko's friend and its story was posted on the blog before. ( please check it )

This is the third one which now Yoko's working on. We found some knitting in there!

Blocks were gathered from all over the world! We could find messages in English, Japanese, Thai, German and French.

We would like to thank all of the people who joined this project, especially Marylene and Pao.

NASA is a greengrocer?

Look at the small place where vegetables are sold in the shop!

Actually Yoko's cousin is a farmer so he brings some fresh vegetables which are picked up in the morning!

They looked really nice!
