The final block in this crazy
project has arrived. And, what an incredible story it has to tell.
Cynthia Nanto, Tokyo, Japan.
(Wabi-Sabi Quilts) When I made the request for blocks back in May, Cynthia said
she would love to participate but, being that Japan had ceased all overseas
shipping with no set opening date, she did not want to hold up my progress. I
told her that I truly wanted her to be part of this and especially with this
block. It is a leftover from a quilt made for her husband and will carry many
memories of their life in Japan. I explained that the beauty of the potholder
method is that I could simply leave a “hole” for her block and stitch it into
the quilt upon arrival.
Then lo and behold their son
was due to return to the states, so Cynthia assigned him the task of mailing it
to me upon his return. Thank you, Tommy for being the “carrier pigeon” and
honoring your mother’s request.
It is a tad off center as I had to add a small strip on the dark side to make it a full 10". I think this cheater print backing with the beautiful crane is perfect for a block from Japan. Thank you Cynthia for this wonderful final
addition to the “Community Supper”.
Assembly starts this week, so
if you are still hungry, have a seat and wait for the finish.
I knew from the moment this block showed up on my blogger dashboard that it had to be from Cynthia. A beautiful finale for the entree table of your community supper. And you have added the perfect backing!
ReplyDeletei never miss a meal...LOL...anxious to see the finish!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure this has been. It's nice to have a quilt with good memories from this stay-at-home time. I've tried to concentrate on feel-good projects so the quilt will bring back the good memories; the time spent together (24-7), the outings in the yard, the maturing of some because of the changes that they have to adapt to, figuring out what is most important, and patience.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story for the last installment of your quilt! I love that it's a tiny bit off-center. Seems appropriate.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your progress!
love ya
Great story. I can’t wait to see your banquet when you get it all together.
ReplyDeleteLove Cynthia's last bite.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that the final bite has arrived--Cynthia's block is charming and worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth the wait!!
ReplyDeleteWendy! I love the back you chose! I'm so relieved it finally reached you! Actually Tommy wasn't here (I wish he was) but a friend of mine here happened to be traveling back to the U.S. and would see Tommy.... hence the handoff. What a world that it took so many steps to get a simple envelope from Tokyo to Maine! Thanks for your patience! xo
ReplyDeleteI am so glad Cynthia's block made it. I loved the quilt she made for her husband--that is so cool that you have a block from it. You nailed it on the backing fabric.
ReplyDeleteI am in my seat and waiting for the dinner bell. So glad it is all gluten free! LOL
I love Cynthia's Log Cabin block. Perfect for her and the backing is wonderful and so apprepo for her block.
ReplyDeleteWow what a story it has and its well travelled!
I'm hungry for more......
A wonderful journey! Looking forward to your next installment.
ReplyDeletePulling up a seat at the dinner table - can't wait to see the finish!
ReplyDeleteAnother great story and so representative of the Covid saga that started you on this community project! I look forward to see how you lay all these wonderful blocks!
ReplyDeleteTake care!
Hooray! I'm so glad to hear Cynthia's block made it in time for supper!
ReplyDeleteYes! Totally worth waiting for.:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! So exciting!

ReplyDeleteI frequently get cold sores(which lasts for 5-6 days on my lips and its painful both physically and mentally) .. As a bodybuilder, I basically get outbreak due to the daily pressure and heat in the body.. Recently I stumbled upon my salvation. I found a herbal remedy to cure hsv completely, in just 4weeks ..
ReplyDeleteI got to know about Dr Utu after seeing a lady's testimony online. I reached the doctor and I ordered for herpes herbal medicine. He sent the herbs to me and I started making use of them. In just 2days, the cold sores are cleared. 4weeks after medication, I went to the hospital for test of cold sores and it was completely NEGATIVE.
By following every prescription, i was able to cure my cold sore in less than 4weeks. 100% natural herbs no after effect.
