Kimono Sun, 02 Mar 2008 23:15:25 +0000 http://pinkchalkstudio.com/blog/2007/09/21/inchies/#comment-46750 [...] I absolutely adore kimono fabric. I have a fairly good stash of pieces that I’ve collected over the years. Once I discovered Ah! Kimono I never looked elsewhere. The quality of their textiles is unparalleled. Saturated colors, no smells and the packs always contain a beautiful assortment of delicate designs, no boring fillers! Given the fan I was I was thrilled to receive an e-mail from Ah! Kimono owner Cheri Bridges when I posted about my inchies awhile back. Cheri recognized her kimono prints in my work. [...] [...] I absolutely adore kimono fabric.

I found the Peltex gave it enough heft to keep it from falling apart under the needle. A sharp needle is important too. My only complaint was the amount of time it took to do the stitching!

Or...? I've even looked at the pdf that QultingArts put out on these and I can't tell for sure.

I love how you cut up one square creating really strong compositions! I have been seeming a lot of inchies in the altered book world lately as well...thought that was interesting! These are great.
