A big quilts exhibition will be held in Sendai here from December 7 to 9. There is a section for small quilts contest themed "Christmas" and I entried it the end of last month. And a few days ago, I received a letter my work "Victorian Christmas" had got a sponsor merits.
作品には『クレージー・ヴィクトリアン・クリスマス』と題をつけました。東北の人にとって、こんなに刺繍やビーズでびっちり飾ったクレージーキルトを見るのはおそらく初めてだろうという自負はあります。小さな作品ですが、会場の反応をちょっと楽しみにしています。
I think it will be the first chance for the people here to see such an encrusted CQ. I am very curious to see their response for the CQ, though it's a small work, only 50cm squqre.
５０センチ角の一枚ブロックを作ったのは初めてで、中心に近いあたりでは、作業に苦労しました。これが最大限度かな、と思います。
But it was not easy work to embellish for that size as one block.

Ulla,
I was working white-on-white blocks for a while, so I needed some bright colors, too. Thank you very much for your kind words.

Congratulation Ideko: you did a great job and I'm sure that everyone will admire it!
What a great encrusted piece. Your work is so delicate and the detail is wonderful.
This is just beautiful. Since I love encrusted work, this caught my eye immediately. Such delicate hand work on this piece, and so intricate. Lovely work, and look forward to seeing more of your beautiful pieces.
おめでとう！！！
Emiko さん、Ayako さん、お祝いをありがとうございます。今年はいっぱいクレージーをやったなあ、とつくづく思います。怠け者で有名な（だった？）私が、できるときにやっておかなきゃ、と思うなんて驚きです。昔、遠藤周作の『ぐうたら入門』に「明日できることを今日するな」という言葉があって、我が意を得たりと実践していましたが、最近それは「今日しかできないことを今日しよう」だと再解釈しているこの頃です。やっぱり年なんですね。英子
Thank you very much for everyone's kind words. I had never thought to entry myself any contest till this year. And this was the second.
Congratulations! I hope you will be able to listen in on comments, or there will be written ones, or something. This sounds like a great venue!
