Paper-pieced or applique Japanese girls?
I wonder if any of you know a good link or links for a paper-pieced
or appliqued girl in a kimono. I thought it would be nice to make a little wallhanging for my friend's mum, who gave me all that kimono silk. My friend Misue's mum will be visiting in 2 weeks, and I thought I could give her and her friend a little something made from the kimono silk. Any patterns? Links? -- Jo in Scotland |

I have a paper pieced pattern that is supposed to be sunbonnet sue, but
looks very oriental, but not kimono. Kay -- There is always a light at the end of the cliff All outgoing mail is scanned by Norton Anti Virus software .. "Johanna Gibson" wrote in message ...

Jo, I have an applique pattern for 20 Indian girls. You could probably
change their costumes to kimonos. Let me know if you think this would work, and I'll try to scan it and e-mail it to you. Sherry Starr "Johanna Gibson" wrote in message ...

I have one in a magazine, I think it's paper pieced, I could copy it if
you yell loud enough! One thought though, your friends mum is Japanese, will she really want a gift that is Japanese? It seems people tend to prefer a gift that relates to either the country they are visiting, or the nationality of the giver. So I think she'd prefer to receive a Scottish themed gift - a gift that matches someones nationality if a good choice when they've been away from home for a time and it's giving them a reminder of home, particularly if it's something that's more expensive and they couldn't justify buying themselves, so for example if I had a Japanese friend who I thought was feeling homesick, I'd go to the local oriental store and buy sweets/snacks as a token gift to bring a smile to their day. That leaves the question of what would be something you could quilt that related to scotland? maybe a paper pieced loch ness monster! Cheers Anne |

How about using this
http://chantalstainedglass.50megs.com/2geisha.html to make a stained glass style wall hanging. You could even use some of your kimono scraps for the geishas kimono! Sarah |

Cheers Anne You know, all of these ideas had already occurred to me. I am American, and patchwork and quilting is very popular in America, even though one could argue that it came over with Welsh or English settlers. Be that as it may, Akiko gave me some kimono silk when she discovered I liked to sew and saw some patchwork balls that I had made for the triplets. Therefore, I thought a gift of patchwork and the silk would combine both our countries' traditions well. -- Jo in Scotland |
