I read about this interesting quilt-a-long on this Piecework magazine website. This article directs participants to the Park’s Website for instructions for blocks 1-6.
The sixth block is the Virginia Reel. I am using small scrappy pieces of fabric that I have and am hand sewing the blocks.
There is a lot packed into a small space at this shrine in Kawagoe. I visited this place in 2021, but entered from another street.
The shrine was established in 1590 and is believed to bring good luck to visitors, ward off evil spirits, and help in finding love. The shrine’s main symbol is a Yatagarasu, a three legged crow known for being a divine spiritual guide.
You can see from the photos that it was not crowded when I was there.
This museum is next to the City Museum. This first exhibit with bamboo art is fabulous!
The next area downstairs
This is an interesting historical museum, with friendly, helpful employees!
Great information in both English and Japanese!
