Miss Piggy Wants to Steal All These Quilts

Big Bird treated us to coffee and a show-and-tell before our quilting bee this week. She's made 25 quilts so far with two more in the works. At right, she's holding the first quilt she constructed.

Some of her quilts have been featured in quilting magazines; we're trying to talk her into submitting some of the others to the juries that choose quilts for exhibit at the Tokyo and Yokohama quilt shows.



"Water Lilies"

For the "Water Lilies" quilt she used fabric with a turtle pattern for the small blocks circling each lily pad.

"Asian Blocks"

The quilt above features large blocks of fabric with Asian themes like chrysanthemums, carp, and kabuki actors.

This is only the tip of the iceberg. I plan to share some more pictures of her work when I get home from the Machida shrine sale tomorrow.
