Thanks for the pics...they are astonishing pieces.. Wouldn't you like to sit one day with one of these artists and watch them work?
how intricate some of the work is. It would be interesting to compare a show of 10yrs ago to today's work. What makes the difference...machines, fabric, threads, or just imagination and of course talent, the fact that many entries came from Japan indicates how this handiwork has traveled the globe and thru their hands has become another level of "quilting". Jmho.....
I know historically the Japanese/Chinese have made everyday quilted clothing, but it has reached new heights....
