I will come back later and follow you, for some reason I cannot follow you from this computer, I need to use mine. My daughter Sayaka (HungryCaramella) in the meantime is already following you. She loves everything about Japan, even though she half Sicilian.

I'm intrigued by how different cultures come up with similar techniques; in this case the quilted jackets remind me of the Gee's Bend quilts created out of denim, all dyed with indigo.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461148136578592965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477759218685430720.post-13707989426695186922011-12-19T00:00:15.182-08:002011-12-19T00:00:15.182-08:00As always . . . a lovely post!
