Second quarterly meeting – Furoshiki

Our chairperson, Marianne le Roux, gave a very interesting talk about Furoshiki, the art of wrapping with fabric and even gave us demonstrations of some of these folding techniques.

Furoshiki originated in Japan as a way to save the environment by eliminating waste, so instead of wrapping a gift in useless paper, rather wrap it in fabric that can be re-used (especially by quilters).

Several folding techniques for wrapping different types of gifts with full instructions can be found by clicking HERE.




In fact if you simply GOOGLE the word Furoshiki you will find many more interesting facts and some videos on this.
