Translated from Japanese to English, Yoko Saito explores varying interpretations of quilted houses from one-dimensional designs to silhouettes. In addition to teaching you how to design your own house block there are 34 projects from which to choose. These include handbags, pouches, carry-all, tissue case, pencil case and wall quilts.
At present I am working on Yoko Saito's mystery quilt which is full of houses. I have fallen in love with all he houses, but thought her book was out of print. How wonderful it was to be able to buy a copy. While I have not made any projects out of the book yet, as soon as I finish the quilt the book will be put to good use The first bag I plan to make is the "Storehouses in the Dark", which is a beautiful carry bag. This will be followed by a work basket called "A Town on a Hill" which will be a fabulous home for a current project. Where I will go after that who knows, it is such a fabulous book.
