Wow, what a clever design! I love the effect of the stripes, and your
sashiko is just lovely.

In Copenhagen, the big porcelain outlet store (Royal Copenhagen) used
to carry fabric made to match some of the designs. they used it for
tablecloths and such, but you could buy by the meter if you were
lucky. I love the white-on-white patterns. And it's something not
available anywhere else.

I have just finished a Japanese fabric inspired quilt called
"Kirichigae" which means 'changed cut'. *Named after the block (#39)
in the book "Japanese Quilt Blocks, to mix & match" by Susan Briscoe.
The block comprises a set of four 6in. blocks using a 4" centre and
striped fabric which is integral to the design.
Half the quilt on the diagonal is alternating plain blocks with
sashiko designs taken from the same book. *That was fun to do and not
too challenging for meg.
I purchased a stack of 100 x 4" squares in Japan in May and found this
design a good way to highlight them. *Two pieces of the plain blocks
were antique 8" squares - the little mouse in the top left hand corner
which is just darling - DH said it is instead of an 'elephant stamp'
for good workg. *the other is Row 6, #2. *They cost about $10 each
but I think it was well spent.
The quilt measures 130 x 160 cm and will be a throw on the red TV
lounge. *It is snuggly warm.

OT: *DH and I are off on another travel adventure next week. *To the
Arctic - starting from Iceland to Greenland, Newfoundland, Labrador
and finishing in Nova Scotia. *It is an expedition cruise on the MS
Fram, Hurtigruten line. We are spending 10 days in Scandinavia first.
I wonder where the quilt shops will be g?

Oh thanks Roberta for the info on RC. I have a beautiful set of RC
placemats & napkins, that lovely pale blue with the white RC crest. I
use them frequently and they still wash like new, must be over 20yrs
old. I recall they came with white and blue RC crested candles! Long
gone. I have some porcelain too. I have a collection of Georg Jensen
silver too collected over 30+ years which I use all the time - the
gold plated dessert year spoons I love.
I'll take note of that address thank you. We fly into Copenhagen from
Australia on Sept 12 for 3 days before travelling to Stockholm and
then Norway.
Cheers
