Five kimonos help make up the large, overall kimono. Four are blocks; the fifth,
center,
is my original derivative kimono.
There were two times when I just wanted to abandon making Kimono
Wedding entirely because I thought it was so ugly, but I am glad I persevered.
It now hangs in the home of Colleen
Wiley-Doran, and Jonnie Doran (UK), in Oregon.

Because I love Asian things, I wanted to make a Japanese piece. I read
several books on the subject, and this is the result.
When making this artwork, I employed machine embroidery, long-arm pantographing,
applique, gilting and piecing. Much of the imagery employs traditional
Japanese symbolism.
