In spite of the Corona virus outbreak, there is hope for the future!
Under the tag NHK above, on my blog, you can read about this project and see my previous entires.
The theme for 2021 is LOVE THE EARTH.
In charge of the project this time is Kathy Nakajima, famous for her Hawaiian quilts, and her son Yosuke Katsuno, who at present is hosting NHK's craft program Sutekini Handmade.
In tonight's TV program, and on the website (see link below), eight suggestions were made; pieced work, appliqué, Hawaiian, various kinds of globes and one crazy quilt design. However, I am sure we all are able to think up something unique and personal.
The rules are as always,
- size 15x15 cm + seam allowance of 1-2 cm
- no quilting,
- name written in lower right seam allowance,
- enclose a self addressed 63yen postcard, if you live in Japan and want to know in which quilt your block has been added
- NEW and IMPORTANT: print out, fill in and enclose the slip at the bottom of the website (see details below)
- DEADLINE: 31st JULY 2020, when the block must have reached NHK
- send to:

Thanks for posting this information! I hope we will be able to safely attend next year’s show.
Thanks for including the link. Now all I need to do is think of some idea and find a bit of time.
Thank you for posting this info! I've got to put my thinking cap on.
Thank you for the info, I hope the Festival will happen in 2021. Something for you all to look forward to.
Happy Stitching to all involved!
Thank you for the information... I am always so out of the loop about the quilt festival. I wouldn't know anything about it if it weren't for you! I'll see if I can get that slip printed out (which might be as challenging as making a block!)
