Meet Okan Arts’ co-owners Patricia Belyea and Victoria Stone. Mesmerized by the beauty of Japanese textiles, they are makers of creative quilts, teachers, and speakers. 

Their West Coast business imports vintage textiles from Japan, runs quilting workshops, leads tours to Japan, and offers quilts by Patricia in its online gallery.

The perfect weight for quilting, yukata cottons add an extraordinary essence to any project.

The fabric patterns, from classic indigo & white geometrics to vividly bold florals and abstracts, inspire and enchant.

Now you can acquire a one-of-a-kind quilt made by Patricia Belyea. The Hachi Quilts have all been published in Patricia’s book, East-Meets-West Quilts.

In this creative quilting book, Patricia Belyea offers improv instruction using her Hachi Manifesto of five simple rules. 

Fourteen projects explore improv—using vintage and contemporary Japanese fabrics, and bold hand stitching.
