In March, we look forward to welcoming Teresa Duryea-Wong for an online only meeting via Zoom.

Go back in time, to a fascinating point in Japan’s history when cotton & indigo – two epic plants – forever changed Japan’s textile world. Meet the masters who are preserving the old traditions of indigo dyeing and meet the quilters who have dedicated their quiltmaking to working with antique cotton. Learn the stories behind traditional cotton textiles such as kasuri, katazome and kimono cloth and how a handful of Japanese weavers are continuing these traditions into the 21st century. Go inside Japan’s esteemed textile printing mills and hear why the finest quilting cotton in the world is currently printed in Japan.

Teresa will also provide a sneak peak into her newest book on Kawaii Applique Quilts from Japan, based on a Japanese culture of cuteness so pervasive it has its own name, and now means almost anything cool, beautiful or nice and has influenced a new genre of quilts.
