"Yamagata City" - Japanese Manhole Cover Quilt - November 17, 2011

"Yamagata City" - Japanese Manhole Cover Quilt - November 17, 2011

        This is the second Japanese manhole cover quilt that I made.  I was given a black and white photo of the design of the manhole covers in the Yagamata City.   by Shirley MacGregor , a quilt artist from Oregon.  She was living in Japan at this time.  She arranged a trunk show for these manhole cover quilts to travel around the world to be exhibited in galleries, quilt shows and museums.
   I made this quilt using batik,  cottons and moire fabrics.  I also used cording and did silk ribbon embroidery on this quilt.   It is machine and hand quilted and is  18" x 19" in size.
