Quilters' Express to Japan

TOUR #18 - JAPAN-UARY 2009

Sorry you missed our 2008 trip! Japan-uary 2009 will be another fantastic overview of quiltmaking in Japan. Participants will learn about Japanese textiles within the context of Japanese culture. Our daily itinerary is designed to present a unique blend of quilt-related activities with culturally significant sightseeing. We hope to have the 2009 itinerary posted by April, but please click here to be on the notification list.

We now have photos and comments from participants on the site explaining why "Japan is best with Quilters' Express!" and we invite you to take a look.

Quilters' Express to Japan moved to Lewisburg, Pennslyvania in August 2005. Our retail shop, "The Beckoning Cat" is located at 209 Market Street, in charming Victorian "downtown" Lewisburg. The shop offers the same fabulous selection of Japanese fabrics as you've seen displayed in our booths since 1989. There is also an unusual assortment of gift items -- ALL with a Japanese flavor, of course!! From now until the end of March, we'll (most likely) be open Thursdays and Fridays from 12-5 and Saturday's from 11-4 - or by appointment - but it's still best to call ahead if you are coming from afar:
570-523-1520.

If you are planning a weekend getaway, check out the town Web site and also the Visitor's Bureau site; lots of fun local events are always going on around here in the beautiful Susquehanna River Valley!
