Yesterday after enjoying Friday English Class
at the community center, I hurried to Tokyo Dome,
where Tokyo International Great Quilt Festival 2009
was being held.
Today is the final day of the quilt festival.
I thought that the dome would be would be very crowded
on the last day.
So I decided to visit it yesterday.
It was my first time to see such a lot of quilts.
What creative artists the quilters are !
How determined they are to continue needlework!
Special Exhibit was from the story of Anne of Green Gables.
'Green Gables', Anne's house and 'Avonlea Village' were
reproduced in quilts.
I did not know Montgomery herself, the author of
Anne of Green Gables, was fond of making quilts.
The quilt made by Montgomery was displayed there.
A Japanese quilt artist was showing how to sew a quilt.
She said to us, "Any one of you can make patchwork quilts."
She wore kimono and her obi was patchwork quilt.
An American quilt artist was answering questions about her quilts.
several Japanese women asked her about cutting, dying or design.
There was an interpreter and I was enjoying English.
Now I know there are many kind of patchwork quilts.
You can see some quilts on the following site.
