my surprise discovery of a new Japanese quilter
Life is full of surprises, and the best surprise of all is when we get to discover a new quilter whose work we can love and dream about.
On my last visit to Japan, I met one of those quilters. Her name is Miwako Watanabe and I met her for the first time at the Quilt Time Festival in Yokohama (May 2018).
It was such a thrill to see all her quilts on display at her booth. The closer I got to these quilts, the more I loved them. I saw genius in her whimsy and colors --- as if drawings from her mind had come to life in these perfectly executed quilts. I will let these photos tell the rest of the story.

Wow, these are beautiful.
