Omiyage, by Kumiko Sudo
Omiyage: Handmade Gifts from Fabric in the Japanese Tradition. This book is basically in the Japanese craft book category, except all the text is in English. I came across one of Kumiko Sudo's quilting books several years ago, and am fascinated by her origami with fabric techniques. She has two origami flowers/applique books, Folded Flowers and Fabled Flowers. Both books are on my "gimme" list. I think this is an interesting technique that could be incorporated into a variety of projects. This book, Omiyage, is different, in that it is full of fun little bag projects versus quilting--gift bags or gifts themselves.
Cute flower shape
Adorable teapot pincushion
Sparrow coin purse (there is also a pattern for a butterfly purse in the book)
