I think he takes the pictures and helps to blow them up so the colours can be changed into small scraps of fabric and then machine quilted.

My guess is that the average quilter is a housewife with grown up children and a husband who is not yet a pensioner. Once the daily chores are done she has time for quilting. I also believe that there are fewer UFOs here; the Japanese have been trained since childhood to 'never give up', 'finish a task' and 'do your best'. Then you spend a lot of time on one project and the result is a fabulous handmade quilt.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-58089965351980293592014-01-29T05:13:45.142+09:002014-01-29T05:13:45.142+09:00Some marvellous quilts and interesting facts about...Some marvellous quilts and interesting facts about the Swedish wool embroidery.https://linsartyblobs.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10321649853452019532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-58331763992783104252014-01-27T19:31:51.591+09:002014-01-27T19:31:51.591+09:00Your blog is packed full of beautiful quilts, the ...Your blog is packed full of beautiful quilts, the umbrella quilt and the embroidery quilt that is your favourite are stunning, I can't imagine the work that has gone into them.
