byannelize : Radiance challenge 2014
http://byannelize.blogspot.com/2014/10/radiance-challenge-2014.html
Sunday, 5 October 2014. I have been asked by so many people what this challenge is about, that I decided to explain here, then I can refer everyone to my blogpost in stead of explaining, yet again LOL. So, I set the challenge to our group. Some needed a LOT of persuasion to take up the challenge, others needed very little convincing. Eventually we had 26 members join in the challenge. Some of the colours of Radiance fabric that we used. Malvern Autumn show 2015. For most, this will be the first time that...

byannelize : European Patchwork Meeting Alsace 2014
http://byannelize.blogspot.com/2014/09/european-patchwork-meeting-alsace-2014.html
Thursday, 25 September 2014. European Patchwork Meeting Alsace 2014. We had a lovely coach driver, Steve, who is Welsh and entertained us with music from the valleys on some of our journeys. Statue of Liberty in Colmar, designer of statue came from Colmar. Ladies from Japan visiting Ste Marie Aux Mines. I never made it to Rombach or Liepvre as there just was not enough time to do it all, but what I did see in the other villages made up for what I did not see. The Crystal by Elena Nekrasova from Russia.

Wednesday, 29 January 2014. Textile tour to India with Jinny Beyer. Textile tour in India. Entrance to Calico Museum, Ahmedabad. We stopped at Gamthiwala, Ahmedabad's most famous fabric man, a very small fabric shop, which stocks silks and cottons. The shop is about the size of a single garage and it was a miracle that all of us fitted in there, but needs must, we all wanted fabric, so we managed. Block printing demonstration and workshop. And this is the piece of batik I made:. Another Khatri family spe...

http://byannelize.blogspot.com/2013/02/tokyo-international-quilt-festival-2013.html
Monday, 4 February 2013. Tokyo International Quilt Festival 2013. What a show, the biggest quilt show in the world, with between 35 000 and 45 000 visitors per day going through the doors. Not spectators, lunch timers. Again, not spectators, visitors resting before returning to hotels or homes. Decided to tackle sections D and E of the Vendors, before returning to the hotel for supper. Just managed it in time before the show closed at 6.30pm. My shopping after day 1. Framed or Wall hangings:. Thank you f...

byannelize : Shoe étiquette in Japan
http://byannelize.blogspot.com/2013/02/shoe-etiquette-in-japan.html
Tuesday, 5 February 2013. Shoe étiquette in Japan. Wearing or not wearing shoes is a very important part of etiquette in Japan. Quite harsh reprimands will follow if rules are broken, even if you do not understand Japanese, you will certainly understand their displeasure. The rule is simple, wear outdoor shoes outdoors and indoor slippers indoors. What constitutes outdoors and indoors is not so simple. Generally, if slippers are provided, you are expected to wear them. I will set out what worked for us:.
