Kumiko Sudo

Inspiring A beautiful book, with story-like descriptions that go along with each design. I'm an intermediate sewer/quilter and found that while giving easy-to-follow instructions, Kumiko Sudo also leaves plenty of room for the imagination, and her designs are sure to spark creativity! I've successfully completed two different blocks: they're enjoyable to make and a pleasure to contemplate once finished. This is one of my favorite quilting books - one I'll use for years and years, thanks to show more the quality of the designs and instructions. show less

Combining origami with quilting: 3-D flowers that won't wilt. What could be prettier?

Lovely designs, as always from Sudo. If you get the Dover book of Japanese crests (mon), this book definitely inspires you to design your own.

Charming little projects ranging from simple to intricate. A lot of small purses, as well as boxes and charm-holders. They all should be hand-sewn (it's much faster and more accurate).
