kazuyo's patchwork + gift bundle

my mother in law is a seventy year old japanese woman, who has lived in the same house for the last forty years. she has been doing patchwork like this for at least the last ten years, probably longer. her sewing history goes back to when she was born, and her mother's hobby was sewing kimono. she had a doll with a plethora of kimono that the women in her family had sewn, passed down to her from her cousins. she has shown me compassion, love, acceptance, and an unending amount of grace as her foreign daughter in law who speaks rude japanese at best. she sees my heart above all, and treats my children and i with respect. 

in the last few years during her retirement she has stopped sewing in order to take care of her husband and family, as well as taking on another part time job to help with expenses. i would love to be able to sell / auction off her work regularly so as to support her in her passion of textile arts, so i thank you all for your help in this project with me. 

BONUS GIFTS: a set of fine silk thread. i haven't sold any of this variety because it is a part of my collection. one 100m card of thick vintage cotton thread, and two sets of locally made paper products. one is a letter writing set, and one is a notepad - both locally made.
