Over the past few months I have featured just some of the work shown at  Yokohama Quilt Week  (November 11-13 Yokohama, December 5-13 Sendai, Japan.) The exhibition was sponsored by the Japanese quilt magazine, Patchwork Quilt Tsushin who invited Valerie Hearder, Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia to curate the exhibition. Valerie was also invited to exhibit 6 of her quilts and to travel to Japan with the show to teach at the Yokohma Quilt Week event. 

Valerie has returned and in her Winter 2006 e-newsletter: you can read about her  visit to Yokohama Quilt Festival in Japan, and see photo albums of quilts.  

Artists included in this show are: Judy Martin, Sheguindah, Ontario Jayne Willoughby Scott, Edmonton, Alberta Karen Colbourne Martin, St. John¹s Newfoundland Martha Cole, Lumsden, Saskatchewan Laurie Swim, Blue Rocks, Nova Scotia Dorothy Caldwell, Hastings, Ontario Lorraine Roy, Mississauga , Ontario Meredith Annett, Halifax, Nova Scotia Pamela Allan, Kingston, Ontario Linda Mackie Findlay, Halifax, Nova Scotia Emilie Belak, Grand Forks, British Columbia Sheila Niles, Millarville, Alberta.
