Quilt Time Festival 2019 - Yokohama, Part 5

What is a quilt show without a contest?

 Grand Prix was won by Masako Kaya/榧政子



 Mutsumi Kanda/神田睦 won a prize for her small traditional quilt.

 So did Aki Sakai/界亜希. I have seen her work before, always charming with lots of small rabbits, birds, flowers and ribbons.

 Here is another quilt with mini-mini stitches, made by Naomi Iida/飯田奈緒美.

Just how small the quilting stitches are can be seen here.

Misako Muto's/武藤美左子quilt was very colourful.

Michiyo Watanabe/渡辺美智代 also had a floral motif, but in Japanese style.

Chizuru Yajima/矢島千鶴 worked with flowers, too.

Chiharu Takahashi/高橋千春 needs three watches to keep track of time, or?

Junko Hiranuma/平沼淳子 made a huge quilt with a hindu motif

Lots of details, like this stump work butterfly.

Yayoi Abe/阿部弥生 used a special technique for her floral landscape.

 Small scraps of fabric has been placed on the background fabric, then covered with tulle and machine quilted.


Sakuko Tsunoda/角田佐久子 made this funky tree that can serve you coffee!

 Miwako Suzuki/鈴木美和子celebrates nature with butterflies and flowers on her large quilt.

Tsunemi Suzuki/鈴木つねみ won a prize for her colourful quilt made from her 'fabric collection'.


Sanae Nagasaki/長崎早苗 bought a large piece of fabric in Guatemala, then cut it into squares and quilted it in an artistic embroidery style.

And with this quilt, I close this quilt show review.

Delightful quilts. Such tiny stitches on some. I was taken with the bunny one.

And I have yet to even look over my pictures from the show. You have covered it all so nicely. As time creeps in I am even wondering if there will be time to assemble a partnership block before the deadline.

The "Fabric Collection" quilt is a favorite of mine from this group!
