Quilters' Express to Japan

TOUR #18 - JAPAN-UARY 2009

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. Click here to find out why you won't want to miss this trip of a lifetime, led by Susan Ball Faeder!

We invite you to take a look at photos and comments from tour participants explaining why "Japan is best with Quilters' Express!"

You won't want to miss our Fabric Catalog! Our newest section is from Kaffe Fassett for Westminster Fabrics. The bold color pallette of these designs based on traditional Japanese fabric is perfect for your Summer projects.

Lovely and subtle Kumiko Sudo fabrics are another recent addition, and we have new selections among our exquisite textiles from Daiwabo. New fabrics with traditional Japanese banner motifs are among our Current Goodies, and you'll find some great buys in our Summer Breezes Sale too.

We now have Accessories, Patterns, and Kits that enthusiasts of Japanese textiles will also enjoy. Please take a look!

We have an online shopping cart for your convenience. Please note you must still call in your credit card information as we are not accepting payments online. You may use our mail-in order form if you prefer.

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!
