Our next meeting and Calliarts is on 11 July and as always it is shaping up to be a great day.
Penny Laver will be taking be taking us through Quilted Japanese Cards
These cards are based on washi paper quilting which is a traditional Japanese doll making technique called “kime-komi” and Oshie. Pieces of Japanese “kimono” fabric and cotton batting are used to create beautiful doll pictures. Individual parts of the image are formed by creating small “shaped” puffy pillows and then piece together to form the final picture.
This picture shows an example but we shall not be doing anything so grand!

This technique can easily be adapted to make some beautiful cards. We shall be making the card shown below which is a great card for children. If time permits we shall try a couple of other patterns.
