Quilting in Tabata

Yesterday my friend Jane took me to a lovely little kimono store in the middle of nowhere. From outside, it looked like nothing and I would have walked straight past it. Inside, it was a treasure trove of beautiful fabrics and kimonos of all hues and colours and absolute heaven for any fabric junkie. When we got there, the shop owner beckoned us over to the the corner of the shop and asked us to contribute to a quilt they were making to send to the earthquake disaster victims. We each had to sew 5 squares of silk together which would then be added to this beautiful quilt. Even though it was a small gesture, it was really lovely to be involved with something like that. Needless to say, I also came home with a bag of gorgeous fabrics to play with...
