Noriko is an award-winning quilter, she was born and raised in Japan. Her unique perspective makes this one of the most interesting quilting books on the market. In Confetti Naturescapes Noriko writes about the inspiration she finds everywhere in nature and the techniques she employs to create her masterpieces.
Her naturescapes have the look of impressionist paintings and feature trees, leaves, flowers, lakes, small forest creatures, mushroom, spider webs, and more. Shapes and images in Noriko’s naturescapes are created using her confetti techniques, which involves layering colorful bits of fabric on batting, adding a covering of tulle and then machine quilting the entire piece. Noriko takes readers step-by-step through her process of choosing a subject and selecting colors, then designing, constructing and finishing the work.
I meet Noriko years ago when we were in a workshop together. She is a lovely, lively and talented artist. I know you are going to enjoy her book. This week I am going to feature several of her quilts and on Friday I will be giving away a copy of her book to one lucky winner.
So leave your comments with email address and on Friday my new little grandson and his mom and dad will pick one lucky winner who will receive a free copy of “Confetti Naturescapes” to enjoy.

I'd love to own this book! Thanks for the chance to win.
I have seen several of her quilts at the Houston festival and just loved them, she is indeed truly talented. I am sure that her book is very informative and would adore a copy!
I have been thinking of getting her book. I love landscapes, and I love the Impressionist artists.
This looks like a beautiful book to enjoy. Thanks for the giveaway.
I'm working on a quilt using a similar idea. Should have looked at this book first probably.
This book looks really great and I suppose her quilts are much more beautiful. I would be very happy with this book.
Love from Marjolijn

I like landscapes and this would be fun to try. I've read about this author - love to win!!!
I have seen her quilts at Asilomar at Empty Spools, but she did not come because of 911. I would love to have her book.
This is definitely on my wish list. I have tried a couple of small works using this technique and I cut up oodles of bits of fabric confetti for 'one day'.
