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