Unfortunately, my favorite craft and rubber stamp stores, The Quilted Bear and Stamp Oasis, are both closed...but, I did find a great Fabric/Quilt store!
They carry a line of material from Kona Bay...No, I didn't go to Japan, but, Kona Bay does have panels with Japanese motifs, I have been looking for the below panel for a while...it's of Kinkakuji, the Golden Pavillion. Jeff and I went to see the temple in Kyoto years ago.
Fabric Boutique has a large inventory of craft and quilt kits. I picked up these two Santa kits. I gave the one on the left to Jeff's Mom for her birthday, which happens to be today.
Of course, I couldn't pass up the Asian Fat Quarter assortment...the best thing was that it was on closeout...so, it was cheaper than listed on their website. I am going to use a few of these to make some fabric kimonos to quilt next to the Kinkakuji panel above.
They had a huge wall of patterns, mostly quilting patterns, but also quite a few purse/bag patterns. I picked up a few....
On a sad note...I worked on trying to recover my SD card photo images for over 12 hours yesterday...only to find out that (I think) I was scanning the wrong drive....(okay Mr. Collins, let's hear it "USER ERROR")...After I fiddled around with it some more, I found out (after 15 minutes), that all of my images from our Las Vegas / Hoover Dam vacation are on the stick...then I found out that I needed to pay $40 for the license key to "recover" the pictures. Luckily a friend already has the software...and he is going to do this for me....THANK YOU PRESTON!!! I love you!
