Okinawa International Patchwork Guild

I belong to a great quilting guild here!! The OIPG is a group of Okinawan and American women who love to get together and share quilting experiences...

We have one business meeting each month and then one workshop each month.



Tomorrow Yuriko is going to teach us how to make a really cool purse!

What's a shiisa?

Since I moved to Okinawa nearly 6 years ago, I've been drawn to the shiisa...

Right now, I'd love to find someone who could design a shiisa quilt pattern for me!! So, if you know of someone -- or if you're that someone, please comment here... It could be a patchwork shiisa or a foundation paper-pieced shiisa... or maybe even an applique -- although that wouldn't be my first choice!!
