Welcome To the Alluring World of Japanese Yukata Quilts
Patricia Belyea is the Canadian-borne, Seattle-based owner of Okan Arts, an on-line and brick-and-mortar shop that specializes in imported Japanese textiles, including yukata cottons. In addition, she specializes in creating innovative quilts, many using yukata cottons, and teaching. She recently published her first quilting book, titled East-Meets-West Quilts.
A select number of yukata cotton as well as copies of Patricia’s book will be on sale.
Christine Barnes and Heidi Emmett
Monday, April 8 – 7 pm
A Kaffe Fassett Extravaganza
Join Heidi Emmett and Christine Barnes for their aptly titled, fast-paced, fun-filled lecture on one of the biggest names in quiltmaking. Kaffe’s patterned, striped, and shot-cotton fabrics have been favorites with quilters for decades, but he’s just as famous for his knitting, needlepoint, and mosaics. Their program includes a short bio (he’s a fascinating artist), two brief video 
interviews in which he discusses his color philosophy and sources of inspiration, and a trunk show of their 
quilts and wearables made from his fabrics and yarns. Kaffe’s a local, too. He grew up at the famous Nepenthe Restaurant in Big Sur.
You are invited to bring any and all articles made using Kaffe’s designs to the show-and-tell portion of our meeting.
