Sunday, I took the train to Tokyo to meet with friends and to attend the Tokyo Quilt Show. This is not the Tokyo International Great Quilt Festival, that I attended for years. The pandemic was the end of that Festival. The Tokyo Quilt Show was a small show with an expensive entry fee and was quite a disappointment really. I guess I have been spoiled by the big shows.
There was one room of quilts, plus some quilts hanging in the hallway. I had already seen quite a few of the quilts at other shows, plus photos were not allowed to be taken of the competition quilts in the center of the room. The good thing about the day was meeting with Queenie and Julie, who blog at Queenie's Needlework and My Quilt Diary. Also, it was not crowded and everyone wore masks, so it seemed pretty safe.
These were the winning quilts.
Along the right side of the room were boxed displays of some previously exhibited quilts, maybe of quilting teachers. You may recognize some of these quilts if you attended other shows or saw my posts from the Tokyo International Great Quilt Festival or the Yokohama Quilt Show.
There were some hula dances as entertainment.
In the hallway were some nice quilts. I don't know why these could be photographed but not the others.
We hope to get together again soon. Maybe the Yokohama Show will be back in November.
