Quilts for Japan

A young lady in Tokyo was collecting handmade quilts for children still living in evacuation centres after the tragic earthquake and tsunami.
So I decide to make one each for a boy and a girl.

With the scraps, I made softie rabbits for something extra to cuddle.

I didn't realise how much fabric I had in the cupboard, most of it never even looked at. So now I feel happy I have put it to good use.

Sakura beaded strap

Made from a kit from Kiwa Beads, Harajuku store.

Greengate Tote Bag

I made this tote bag from Greengate fabric, purchased from Okadaya in Shinjuku. The drawstring opening means I can pack loads of shopping inside.

I also made a cute little pouch to match.

JAPAN

I made this scene with origami ladies and stickers purchased in Japan.

So much grief and heartache for such beautiful people at the moment.


I feel my upcoming trip to Japan will need to be postponed, but I definitely will travel to this wonderful country again.
There is so much to love about Japan.

HINA MATSURI SCROLL

I made this wall hanging from stickers and chirimen decorations from Japan.

I think Hina Matsuri is a lovely festival.
