二度目のオンラインクラス My 2nd Online Class


シャロンさんの二回目のオンラインクラスが始まりました。どういうブロックを作ろうか迷ったのですが、今度は長方形にしました。実はまた未完成のブロックを形にすることを目論んでいます。
Sharon B's online class started last Wednesday. It's 2nd time for me. I was thinking long time what to do and again took my UFO. I have pieced up a rectangle block this time.

こういう扇のブロックを4枚作り、何を考えていたのか憶えていないのですが、その色調の布もまとめてあったのです。
I had made four fan blocks after last class but I don't remember what I was doing with these ones. I had collected matching fabrics too.



私の場合クレージーキルトに関しては、いつも色の選択は好みというよりそのときの気分の反映といっていいのですが,このときはどういう気分だったのでしょうか。
My colors choice of CQ always reflects my mood rather than my favorite.


でも他にも布をひっくり返していたらピッタリのプリントも見つけました。前のクラスのときに使ったプリントの色違いです。これはたしかキルターの片桐好子さんのデザインの布でした。彼女の布を見てのインスピレーションだったのですね。
But I found a Japanese patterned fabric exactly matching the color scheme I chose. It's the color-different one from the fabric I used for the last class. They are designed by Japanese quilter Yoshiko Katagiri. Her color choice must have inspired me then.

というわけでこのブロックをセンターピース、ファンブロックをコーナーに配置した作品を考えています。
Therefore this block would be a centerpiece and the fan blocks put at the corners.

It's going to be nice following your blocks in the course.I have not been in a course about CQ,not yet.
The colours are very special now.I try to analyze but...well I think it can be the autumn and the calmness.It's for me not colours full of joy but silence!?????

In the weekend I made a needlebook and I post it in the beginning of november when my friend has got it.Made a lot of beads and I'm happy for the result.

What a wonderful red block.

What book is te best one to learn more about kinono?I saw you were going to buy some.

Thank you very much for your interest in my block. Hopefully it will become a "dramatic" one.
I have bought Lisa Dalby's "Kimono". It's really good book to learn about kimono. The author had an experience of Geisha in Kyoto and studied thoroughly about kimono culture then. I was thinking to write about Obi accessories next time but wondering what English words to use for them. Now I have got those words from her book. So now I am ready.

These are beautiful! I haven't had much time to look at blogs lately and I am getting caught up!

I love your blocks. I think your plan will make a beautiful piece. The colors are warm, but calm feeling. The class is interesting so far.
