Here's one I saw in the window of a kimono shop in Sendai:<br /><br />http://borisandtheumbrella.blogspot.com/search?q=kimono<br /><br />-Tracey, BerkeleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-50802338378629980902009-10-12T09:27:25.384-07:002009-10-12T09:27:25.384-07:00Yeah, I suspect that I justified buying it at the ...Yeah, I suspect that I justified buying it at the time by telling myself I'd feature it in a quilt.

Some fabric pieces that you buy are just to beautiful and are really works of arts.KARIMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016716965565229162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-52842401431384189582009-10-12T07:47:41.264-07:002009-10-12T07:47:41.264-07:00Thanks, Alison and Gwen.

My house does not have a lot of wall space, but I will prowl around looking for a possible place where I could showcase this textile.<br /><br />Gwen, I have some yukata fabrics, which are stenciled, but nothing that is art worthy. I completely understand. :)shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-73706452852321106732009-10-12T05:25:27.297-07:002009-10-12T05:25:27.297-07:00Gorgeous fabric.
