Spring Quilt Market 2010 – Kiyohara
Compared to Kokka and Lecien, Kiyohara fabrics are a bit more expensive and harder to find in the U.S. Their ongoing collections include Ecrulat (a sweet, rustic linen/cotton for apparel and accessory sewing — above) and Puti de Pome (a supersweet children’s collection).

New to me this Market was this lively double gauze collection by Kayo Horaguchi:
Kiyohara also had a collection of more traditional Japanese designs — this one in particular caught my eye. Whipped cream dollops with scarves?
























Absolutely love the one that looks like the trees on the bag and dress!! Keep em coming!!! ~Shelley
Wow. I love these. If you know where they can be found, please let us know! I see that Purl Soho has some but not a huge selection.
lovely! the kayo horuguchi was just released here in japan too last month; it’s so pretty and like a fairytale.
the last print is gourds, a traditional japanese motif.
Hi! It was great to meet you at market. Keep those repro’s a secret….teehee
I love the Kiyohara fabric. Could you post sources to find it in the US or on the internet?
Holy gorgeousness! I love that first set of prints with the weeds printed on the bottom!
These are all beautiful, but my favorite is that last print – I used to live in Japan and think the traditional prints are the best. I know it’s gourds, but they look like “hashi-oki” (a.k.a. chopstick holders) to me.
We stock a few Kiyohara cotton/linen prints from last year. The quality is beautiful as are the prints. They are a little more expensive but on par with a Kokka fabric.
The Kayohara stuff is gorgeous! I want to buy all of it now now now!
Stunning designs! Love the look of delicate motifs with crisp colors.
