This week I wanted to show you another quilt, from the Little Women exhibit at the Tokyo Quilt Festival. This quilt by Pachiko Yoshida is titled “Little Women 2018”, and it depicts the 4 sisters with 4 totally different personalities, wearing 2018 pop culture fashions.<\/p>\n

There are many influences to be found in this large figurative quilt. First of all the 4 sisters from the novel Little Women are depicted with 4 totally different fashion statements. The original archtype of each sister is there, but they are dressed in Tokyo street fashions, including Harajuku, Cosplay and Schoolgirl outfits.<\/p>\n

The Anime artwork influence is also obvious here. The girls are drawn in the Anime style – highly stylized with quirky details. I have uploaded photos of the Little Women exhibit which was wildly popular at the event, to my Tokyo Quilt Festival page<\/a>. Check out the details on this whimsical quilt!<\/p>\n

The quilt by Yoshida is on the right (4 panels), and I’ve added 3 of our fabrics with young ladies, on the left side of this collage. Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy are no doubt inspiring a whole new generation of Little Women readers. What would Louisa May Alcott think?<\/p>\n

On Friday April 27 I will be attending the opening reception for the Modern Quilt and SAQA exhibits at the Dairy Barn in Athens Ohio. eQuilter is a sponsor of this exhibit, which will be up through June 17.<\/p>\n
