I attended the Tokyo International Great Quilt Festival several weeks ago and I still haven't gotten my photos organized. I'm really going to work on them this week!
My friend, Queenie, who blogs at Queenie's Needlework met me at the metro station and we went together to the show at the Tokyo Dome.
Today's pictures are only the overall winners, but I will be back in a couple of days with more photos!

ReplyDeleteHow fantastic! I would love to visit one of the big Japanese quilt shows. The photos always look amazing, and it seems the standard of work is very high. Thanks for sharing your photos with us!
ReplyDeleteGosh, what wonderful quilts!
ReplyDeleteNow tell me, do they wear masks because they have the flu? No, I guess it must be so they don’t catch it, is that right?
How super that you met up with Queenie! Were you in her photos? If so, I didn’t realise she meant you when she named her friends. How super!
Hugs

Those quilts are amazing, especially the First Place and the Hand Making Award. How much time and dedication has to go into them!
