Art Now Quilt Show in Bangkok

Posted by Jill C. on September 17, 2011

The Art of Quilting x 2 is a quilt show at International School Bangkok (ISB) from October 2-16, 2011. Two famous Bangkok quilters, Marjolein Bastiaans and Karen Sengel will display their wonderful quilts. Marjolein’s quilts are quirky, artistic, with an old world style mixed with an Asian influence. Karen Sengel pieces together hilltribe fabric, vintage fabric, and batiks, all in bright colors. She creates wonderful scenery featuring people and animals. A few of her quilts have borders, most go right to the edge. For quilt backs, she uses cotton sarongs. This show will be inspiring for quilters and non-quilters alike!

October 3 – 14 don’t miss it!

Open every day from 7am-5pm

: Siriwan Vilassakdanont – managing director of Wien, Pimpen Vejjajiva – wife of prime minister, and Masashi Kawashima – Corporate Office Janome Japan. Khun Siriwan said in her opening speech that quilting is a craft recognized the world over. There are quilt shows in other countries and she wants to bring that to Thailand so more people can get into quilting and so Thai people can have the opportunity to see the works of quilt artists. Quilting is a hobby that encourages creativity and can even be a source of income. We hope Thailand can become important in the quilt world. There is a big untapped market here for quilting.

: The fashion show featured 30 works of wearable art.

: Akemi Shimata from Japan says she likes to observe plants, animals, fruits and vegetables, everything around the house for inspiration. “This quilt took me 8 months to make. I started quilting 30 years ago. My neighbor who quilts, took me to a quilt show. Then I learned quilting techniques and also taught. Quilts are wonderful works of art made from leftover fabric scraps. Even an ordinary housewife can become a great quilt artist, and that can really build your confidence. Quilting is really taking off in Japan. We have over a million quilters in Japan and I hope it will be the same in Thailand soon.”

: Pimpen Vejjajiva, wife of the Prime Minister of Thailand, opened the show.

: Lakkana Jones and her Buddha quilt. “When I had a chance to study meditation, I realized that life has hardship and sorrow, and if you can reach for happiness and let the sorrow go, you will find happiness. This quilt is my way of showing the deeper meaning of Buddhism. It took me 3 months to make. I started quilting 10 years ago, as I already loved art. I learned in Australia and brought my knowlege back to Thailand. Quilting can be a source of income. I want the Thai people to get new ideas and make quilting their own. Through quilting you can discover a lot about yourself and the world!”
