Nobuko's Garden
Some gardens take time to bloom. Nobuko and her tiny dog brought me this quilt top she started years (decades!) ago.
When she unfolds a quilt, it’s more like she’s opening a storybook. Sandy Sutton has been collecting and studying antique quilts longer that I’ve been alive. Her extra bedroom is a library, stuffed wall to wall with quilted stories, some written more than a hundred years ago. Her obsession has made her more than a just quilt collector. She reads the stitches like words on a page. They whisper their secrets.
