sashiko

It is a simple running stitch. I did it once and used crochet cotton with an intricate design. If I were to do it again, I would use something with a smoother texture such as embroidery floss or maybe a finer crochet cotton.
It has been at least 10 years since I did this and you may now be able to get ahold of the thread for it, we've come a long way, baby!

I love to do Sashiko. A friend of mine couple years ago, introduced me to this. I got hooked. This is a picture of the quilt top I am working on now.
It has 16 13"x26" pre-printed sashiko squares. Then there are 9, 12 1/2 x12 1/2 Sashiko/hand applique blocks. Sylvia Pippen Designs.
I have only 1 book, Sashiko Style, that I really like. Great patterns, instructions, and good pictures how to do the stitch.
I plan to purchase more books. I also have a couple Japanese fabric quilting books.
