Today I am sharing with you more photos of the quilts that were on display at the Tokyo Quilt Festival 2018 as seen through my lens. There were many more inspiring and exciting works to be seen - truly incredible pieces of design, artistry, and workmanship - all varying in style from traditional, to modern, and original. The quilts shown here represent just a handful of quilt that drew in my eye or made my jaw drop! Pictured above is my show favorite; I love this original design with a traditional quilt block feel, and the use of color and fabrics.
Flowers and Polka Dot by Yoko (Shizuoka)
Beautiful Faces of the Seasons by Yoshiko Yokoi
As previously mentioned the quilt labels displayed alongside the quilts were in Japanese and rarely included construction details. I have used Google Translate to translate the text but where that didn't make a lot of sense I have included a photo of the original label with the photos of the quilt.

Kutani by 鈴木貞子＊Sadako Suzuki
This (mini) quilt was part of the Framed Quilt Exhibition.
It is no bigger than a 12" square. The quilting stitches are tiny!
The detail of the quilting and embroidery stitches on this quilt were
incredible, and the quilt binding/edge was fascinating!

I am so glad to have had the opportunity to travel to Japan and attend the Tokyo Quilt Festival. I do not have a fear of flying but I am not fun to be around on "travel day". I call it airport anxiety. So I am ever so grateful that my husband suggested we travel together to Tokyo and that he continues to encourage and support my quilting and fabric obsession. I would definitely go again!
Thank you for stopping by,
Rita
