The quilts are raffled off and unless you win your own quilt you never see your block again.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-87607503658316749562017-07-18T01:20:19.298+09:002017-07-18T01:20:19.298+09:00Do you know if there is a wearable art category, o...Do you know if there is a wearable art category, or a would a kimono fit a categoryMarijkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12544966424741264772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-90353271274622489072017-07-14T15:05:00.247+09:002017-07-14T15:05:00.247+09:00Thank you very much, Queeniepatch, for providing a...Thank you very much, Queeniepatch, for providing a glimpse into the Tokyo quilt show! :-) I haven't attended yet, but it sounds very surprising since, here in the States, NHK broadcasts a good English-language news program, so I've been wrongly assuming that at least one fluent English speaker would be present to help international guests at the show. Good to know that a Japanese-speaking friend's attendance would be helpful. Thanks again, and hope you're already working on this year's block! :-)<br /><br />featheryfernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08570274190000468475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-85620387086006786772017-06-19T23:40:23.363+09:002017-06-19T23:40:23.363+09:00Thank you for your information.

My experience is that NHK are really bad at foreign languages, and it is always noticeable at the show where the staff at the enquiry desk speak nothing but Japanese.

Your blocks are really beautiful! :-)<br /><br />For future reference, we can contact this email address: quilt@ nhk-ed.co.jp if we need an update about our blocks. <br /><br />The NHK Quilt team replied to my inquiry in Feb. from that address and told me which quilt (#43) my tulip block was sewn into along with a link to the 63 quilts (that unfortunately doesn't work anymore). Hope everyone has gotten a chance to see the quilt that their donated block was sewn into!<br /><br />Thanks again and take care, <br />featheryfernfeatheryfernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08570274190000468475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-37067036947846377662017-06-06T22:30:42.658+09:002017-06-06T22:30:42.658+09:00I have an idea but the small size of the block is ...I have an idea but the small size of the block is blocking me!Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-23635128189509559732017-06-06T18:25:03.992+09:002017-06-06T18:25:03.992+09:00Thank you again for the information.
