The national hand towel of Japan.
A long narrow piece of hand-dyed cotton (90 cm by 35 cm) that is used by people who work with their hands; sushi chefs, carpenters, gardeners, drummers.
They can be worn as head twists, to tie around the neck, or in the bath as a towel, Tenugui have been used for hundreds of years.
Simple designs on coarse white cotton that bear greetings of season, announcements of new enterprises or simply business identification.
Just saw your interview with Karen Brown. love your style.
I have made quilts intuitively for my daughters. I tried to do a pattern which is nice fitting everything together but if it doesn’t work I just can’t help just going on with - hell with it - cut it and if it doesn’t work you can patch it later.
I say i don’t learn from my mistakes because I just move on. It’s patchwork anyway, right?
I love your ideas of just putting small stuff together. I will try some of your techniques. Lots of inspiration!
I'm late to the party. I just today am watching your interview with Karen Brown. Your work is marvelously inspiring! Thank you for sharing your work with all of us.
Thoroughly enjoyed your visit with Karen Brown today. Inspired by your no rules process. Judy in Virginia, USA
I saw you on Karen Brown this week. We may be twins. I finish things in my own time. But at the right time. I love your work.
