Japanese Quilting<br />
Piece By Piece<br />
29 Stitched Projects from Yoko Saito<br />
by yoko saito<br />
From quilt artist Yoko Saito, Japanese Quilting Piece by<br />
Piece explores traditional folk themes and interprets them<br />
with a vintage, yet modern feel. The projects in this book<br />
use traditional patchwork techniques such as log cabin<br />
blocks, hexagons, baskets, and stars, sewn in soft sepia<br />
and taupe fabrics. Featuring piecework, appliqué, machine<br />
stitching, handstitching, and embroidery, these projects are<br />
a delight for anyone who loves doing needlework.<br />
In this book, quilt artists will discover large wall quilts as<br />
well as smaller projects, from fabric baskets and handbags<br />
to an apron and fabric cushions—all with enclosed paper<br />
patterns.<br />
In her masterful style, Yoko Saito uses beautiful and<br />
meticulous stitching while still embracing the wabi sabi<br />
concept of imperfection, using odd-shaped pieces and<br />
quilting with a free mind. Japanese Quilting Piece by Piece<br />
invites all quilt artists to stray from conventional designs<br />
and create one-of-a-kind quilts and quilted projects.<br />
Yoko Saito appears regularly on Japanese television and in<br />
magazines, has published multiple books, and holds quilt exhibitions<br />
and workshops around the world. In 2008, she founded<br />
the Yoko Saito Quilt Exhibition at Matsuya department store in<br />
Ginza, Tokyo. She lives in Tokyo, Japan.<br />
