Greetings from Japan.

I am here as a guest of Bernina of Japan at the 15th International Quilt Week Yokohama. My quilts are on display and I am teaching a few classes. As you probably know, the Japanese are excellent quilters and create magnificent designs. On a more personal note, I'm already experiencing culture shock - but in a good way - and there are plenty of things that make me feel right at home.

I had a bit of free time while decompressing and was able to put together a video of my adventures so far - enjoy!

Ricky - still jet lagged but hanging in there.
