quilt
43. "Spring"
Hideko Ishida
Sendai, Miyagi, Japan,
Japanese kimono fabrics, dupioni silk, satins for a block, silk button twists and DMC rayon threads for seam treatments. Mokuba embroidery ribbons. Flowerbeads, seed beads, buttons and charms added.
I started this quilt in March. It was a month spring was expected to come soon. I picked up vivid colour scheme and also wanted some Japanese feelings on it. So I used Kimono fabrics and fan pattern. I didn’t like to give too much encrusted look on this quilt. I myself love the lacy effect of seam treatments of fan stitched by white silk buttonhole twists.
