Our Sashiko Story to Your Sashiko Journey

As much as I wish to share Sashiko, I am willing to learn. ☆

As much as I wish to share Sashiko, I am willing to learn. ☆
After completing 30% (!?) of packing to QuiltCon2020, I start wondering, what is MQG’s “Modern” indicate. I focused on my Sashiko workshop so much that I almost forgot the important learning opportunity: To understand what I am going to work for. After studying the MQG’s website, I learned that “Modern” can be defined in various ways. I like it that way, and I feel the same way about Sashiko. I am here to share the “Sashiko”, but not excluding the “modern” or “something new”. What I am asking is just to respect (to learn) the tradition (Japaneseness).
☆
I have a question, though. Would a member of MQG accept a “painting” which looks like quilting as “quilting”? In my understanding, quilting is a process of sewing 2 or more layers of fabric with batting. If the work is not sewn (stitched), would they call it “Modern Quilt”? How much “freedom” is acceptable? I am excited to learn a lot over the next week.

言葉とは、まぁ難しいもので。昔ながらの職人さんが多くを語らないのは、もしかしたら、「語るより伝わる手法」を知っているのかも知れません。公私ともに言葉に頼りがちな僕は、もう少し丁寧に生きなければと思うわけです。

さて。モダンキルト。ふと、「あれ?何がモダンなんだ?」と、直前になって疑問に思ってしまいました。危うく、「お仕事をするお相手が何をされている人なのか」を知らずに物事を進めてしまう所でした。モダン。近代。近代刺し子って言う表現も出てくるとは思いますが、結構括りは曖昧なようです。一歩踏み込んで伺ってみたいなぁと思うのは、「布じゃなかったり、キルト芯入ってなくてもモダンだったらモダンキルト?」という疑問。「んなアホな」と返信されるかもしれませんが、でも刺し子業界では、「印刷された柄」を刺し子と商品を販売している人もいるので、笑えない話なんです。沢山学びのある週末になりそうです。

    Is sashiko stitched only from the top? Rather than 2 wrong sides together, and then presses open with an iron?
