There are many stories on the back streets of New York, and urban life is as intricate as a subway system.

Why do you quilt?
キルトと出会い、作り始めて３０年以上になります。結婚し家庭という小さな世界に入り環境が激変しました。幸せでありながらもさまざまな葛藤をいだき、心を晴らすに選んだのがキルト作りです。布から受けるインスピレーションを作品に仕上げるのは大きな喜びと充実感が得られます。それは私自身に自信と勇気、友人（仲間）までも与えてくれています。
I started making quilts more than thirty years ago. Then, I got married and my world changed, centering around my home life. Quilting is one of the things that I turn to when I’m happy and during times of trouble. I get pleasure from the quilting itself, but also from the inspiration I receive from the cloth. It gives me self-confidence, courage, and even friends.
What does quilting mean to you?
私自身がどこまでチャレンジできるかということ。全ての物事を深く見ようと思う心、１人で行動しようと思う勇気、其れが出来る事へのさまざまな環境への感謝。出来るだけ長くキルトを制作して生きていきたい。
Quilting is a way for me to see how far I can challenge myself. It gives me the motivation to look deep into my own heart and at all things. It gives me the courage to act alone, and it provides a means to show my gratitude to the various environments that inspire me. I want to quilt for as long as I live.
