Happiness is...Playing with Fabrics by Yumiko Tanaka
Quiltmania is proud to present Yumiko Tanaka’s first book, Happiness is … Playing with Fabric. Yumiko’s passion for all types of fabric, and designing breath-taking works of art with them, knows no limits. Using everything from Japanese silk kimonos, exquisite lace, wool, to an old sweater of sentimental value, this exceptional artist has created a unique style of patchwork! Her compositions are almost always embellished with, or primarily made of, yo-yos and in this book, you will learn how to make numerous types. 2O projects, thoroughly detailed, most of which are perfect for beginners, await your creative hands! From table centerpieces, bed covers, wall hangings to hand bags … Yumiko’s projects will keep you busy for quite some time.
Yumiko Tanaka discovered patchwork over 40 years ago and caught the bug immediately! She studied with Reiko Washizawa, a Japanese Master, for 30 years and has been teaching at the prestigious Nihon Vogue, in Tokyo, for 20 years.
