Depuis maintenant un an, je m'applique à avoir une garde-robe minimaliste, écologique et éthique au contenu vraiment réfléchi. J'ai procédé par étapes : d'abord le tri - j'en avais d'ailleurs profité pour faire le tri de tout notre appartement, emportée par mon élan, puis la phase de réflexion, puis la finalisation la garde-robe avec les achats
"Hope" Quilt by Kikuyo Miyashita 宮下季久代 from Japan There was a fantastic exhibit at the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, USA, that ended January 5, 2014. Titled "Japanese Influences in Fiber Arts", the exhibit features, (among other things), award winning quilts from a major Japanese Quilt Show, the 11th biennial Nihon Quilt exhibit. [The quilts are now being exhibited at the New England Quilt Museum through April 12, 2014.] "Connected Squares" Quilt by Anco Brouwers-Branderhorst from the Netherlands The Japanese show attracts many outstanding international quilts from around the world, and over 35 of the top quilts from Quilt Nihon were displayed at the museum in Cedarburg. "In the Blue" Denim Quilt by Soo Hee Lee from Korea I have been to five quilt shows in the last three months, and yet the museum's exhibit has quilts whose design, workmanship and fabrics stand out among the many other quilts I have seen. I think that the international competition to be in the Japanese show gets a much more diverse body of work then local quilt shows. Quilt by Maya Chaimovich from Israel In this blog post I am sharing a few of my favorite quilts from the museum exhibit. There are many more quilts from the exhibit I'd like to share, but for now these will have to do. close-up of the Kikuyo Miyashita quilt, lots of Keiko Goke fabrics I love seeing quilts in person, because then you get to see not only the overall impact of the quilt, but the small details, fabrics, and quilting choices that make up the quilt. The quilt above has so many cheerful fabrics I have never seen before. The impact of the colors in the quilt is amazing in person. Close-up detail of the Anco Brouwers-Branderhorst quilt The color and construction of the geometric quilt above really caught my eye. The simple block construction, with the white squares offset, is enhanced by the quilting and the embellishment. close-up detail from the Soo Hee Lee quilt This denim masterpiece has to be one of my favorites. The use of zippers and belt loops and the arrangement of colors of denim is just fantastic in the sections of little houses, and then the overall arrangement of the houses in the quilt with a section of leaf pattern is just so creative. close-up detail from the Soo Hee Lee quilt I find myself just stunned sometimes at the talent, skill and time poured into some of the quilts. There is something exciting about seeing masterpieces, and being able to appreciate them. I can't quilt like these quilters, but I can enjoy their efforts, in the same way that I can enjoy a concert even though I can't sing well. Detail 1 of Maya Chaimovich's quilt This last quilt is so different, I can look at it and study it, and still not know where one fabric ends and the next starts. But it is lovely to see. Detail 2 of Maya Chaimovich's quilt I would encourage anyone interested is seeing this show to make the effort. Traveling to Japan to see a show like this is much harder then traveling to Wisconsin (or Massachusetts). People from as far away as Texas made arrangements to come and see this exhibit, and I can see why. These quilts traveled all over the world to get here. If you are interested in seeing more quilts from this exhibit, leave a comment saying so. If there is enough interest, I post more photos.
