I first came to know of her through her fabric designs. When I stumbled upon some at a quilt show last year, with just a bit of money left in my pocket, I happily spent my last dime on one of her printed fabric panels, (the one pictured directly above) It hangs it on my door, by my work table. I look at it everyday. It is too beautiful to cut!
I love her simplicity and her use of line. Jinzenji's designs are like a language all it's own, which she sings fluently, straight to my heart.

Thanks for sharing this artist's work. I just got my first sewing machine...go forward I'd love the opportunity to create with any of these patterns.I love the minimalist modern aesthetic.
I love the simplicity of these also. I think the 'Thumbprint Mix' is my favourite one. They're all adorable designs!
I love the variety you and other artists bring to quilting. I love seeing new spins on traditional crafts. Thanks for sharing Yoshiko with us.

lovely...
I like dots and dashes the best. Reprodepot is the best online fabric shop!
Yes, again, I can certainly see the appeal for you especially. It's got that off kilter balance and simplicity of form and shape and tosses in some playfulness.
I like seeing your influences and favorites!
I saw these too. I would love to do some home dec with these. Amazine!
