So besides the awesome fabric shopping that comes with living in Japan, of which I have extolled much on this blog, I have also eagerly been awaiting the time for me to go to the above building. Why? For the Yokohama International Quilt Festival. And the time has come, ladies and… gents? If any of you are here? For November 10th will not only mark six months of us living Japan, but it is also the day that I will be travelling a 3-hour round trip to this building so that I can wander around all day gawking at incredible quilts and perusing the 200+ merchant booths.
I. Cannot. Wait. Whilst attending Quilt Market would be awesome, I think the fact that I get to go to the Yokohoma International Quilt Festival, followed very soon by the Tokyo Quilt Festival at the end of January is just so much better!
Yes, I promise to take as many photos as possible, and will endeavour to diligently note names as I go. I promise my husband to be very tame at purchasing anything, and I promise to scrounge up something to share with you, dear readers, as consolation for you not being able to come with me.

When and where is the Tokyo Quilt Festival? My daughter is living in Sasebo (for 3 years) and she might be interested in attending. She’s not quite as passionate about quilting as her mother but… she does know quilting.
