On my trip to Japan in 2001, one of the many interesting details I noticed was that all the sewer covers were embossed with beautiful designs. So I was pretty stoked a few years ago when I found not one but TWO books of quilting designs based on them! Just proves once again that inspiration is everywhere.
I know I'm kind of late to the party as far as quilting goes, but I had NO IDEA there was a whole GENRE of quilt fiction. Including murder mysteries, like this one by Terri Thayer. (love the bloody rotary cutter cover!)
