Japanese Stamps




Another page for my album is ready to sew.  This block includes some very special fabrics from Cynthia (a quilter by night) which arrived via Air Mail from Japan.  I really didn't want to  cut into these awesome scraps.    A vintage plaid, taupe linen, very fine indigo, and tenugi cotton plus some "pretties", as you can see in the photo below.   I am saving the little piggies for a special little art quilt, wouldn't you?

  3. A thrill to see your latest page... And in the interest of full disclosure, some of those pretties are indeed American!
