Synopsis

The 24 sensational quilts demonstrate Kumiko's incredible range. Her brilliant, bold colors - reminiscent of the striking colors found in a Japanese kimono - capture the spirit of imperial Japan, while her use of delicate shades and intricate patterns remind the reader of the tranquillity of Japanese gardens. She describes how she uses color and line to explore themes, to create context, and, ultimately, to jolt a response from her viewers. The features include 10 all-new quilt patterns with step-by-step instructions and guidance on color choices and fabric analysis.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

To mate a color scheme, you must first of all know your own heart and mind. When I begin York on a new design, I go outside. I observe the mist on the hills, look at the beautiful changes in the sunset shy, and match the leaves running in the wind. AU of these are Part of my meditation.
