Every quilter has a bucket list: extraordinary quilts they dream of making someday. Now two stars of the quilting world share the "Sunday best" quilts they've always wanted to create! Together the authors chose six different themes--star, scrappy, red-and-white, Christmas, pineapple, and Courthouse Steps quilts--and then challenged one another to each design a quilt in her own signature style. The result is a dozen spectacular quilts, along with personality-packed Q&As and commentary from both designers--plus a fun and easy way for quilters to cross off the quilts on their bucket lists!

First published in Japanese in 1966, the debut novel of the critically acclaimed author of Singular Rebellion is an unusual portrait of a deeply taboo subject in twentieth-century Japanese society: resistance to the draft in World War II. In 1940 Shokichi Hamada is a conscientious objector who dodges military service by simply disappearing from society, taking to the country as an itinerant peddler by the name of Sugiura until the end of the war in 1945. In 1965, Hamada works as a clerk at a conservative university, his war resistance a dark secret of the past that present-day events force into the light, confronting him with unexpected consequences of his refusal to conform twenty years earlier.
