As I keep saying, the words are often insufficient in describing a whole. “Boro is not a word for patchwork” is a clear message, but it doesn’t communicate the whole. It is easy to tell my own definition of “what it (Boro) is”, but I do not want you to…

【ご連絡】娘の保育園が休園を決定したので、主夫業に戻り、定期配信は暫くお休みします。不定期で配信はするかもです。俺も刺し子したいし。 ☆ 【Note】Since the daycare will be closed, I will go back to a stay-at-home father. Therefore, I won’t be able to offer the regular live streaming until the PA emergency clears. I may be on live here and Youtube at random. I gotta Sashiko stitch, too! ☆ – –…

I learned a lot in Sashiko & Modern Quilt can share a lot in common. At the same time, I found some interesting differences as well. PLEASE do not misunderstand here. I am not talking about which is good or bad. Both are good. ☆ In watching many quilts, in…

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…

My name is Atsushi and I am very excited to visit Austin for my first QuiltCon. I have almost zero experience in (Modern) Quilting. I just jumped into the quilting journey. Instead in this Quiltcon, I am happy to share my profession, Sashiko. I will be teaching the Sashiko Mastery…

I got a question: “Why your Boro and Western Boro look differently?”. Great question. I couldn’t come up with an answer right away. It does look different, and I am not that interested in Boro-inspired patchwork with strong expression. I prefer a piece of Boro, which talks quietly. ☆ I…
