I just noticed you're from Virginia, what part?
I'm also from the Va and Wva area.
Thanks for your information. I can not believe you used crayola ! Wow. I live in Lynchburg and my quilting guild did a Japanese block study last year and things related. I want to visit Washington and Lee for a real tea ceremony this year. Last year the instructor was on sabattical. I love looking at the geisha too and I am sure I will be wondering what to do that makes her special. I love the paint on the face idea. Thanks for the help. Hoiw did you design the borders?
I had a friend cut thin wood into the shape I wanted.
I quilted the panel and then covered the wood with the
quilted design. I did the top of the fan geisha the same
way. I have the Cherry Blossom Geisha almost ready
to start on. I've had the design in mind and the fabrics
for a couple of years now so I hope to start on her soon.
We moved here to Florida from Narrows, Va. Originally
from Charleston, WV. I think I'm about the only one
here that was a geisha in a previous life, lol.
Thanks, have a good one,
Jodi
Ah What a great idea! You did a wonderful job on all of the geishas. Such love and ingenuity shows in the results. Thanks again.
