I managed to borrow back the first large quilt I made, 3 years ago, when I first started this hobby/addiction. I made it up in my head and it is definitely not well quilted (SID 10 inches apart) but looking back on it now, I'm still not embarrassed by it. I gave it to my son & DIL and have convinced them to use it (they have a dog and are both paranoid it will get wrecked but they are the only 2 that really appreciate my hobby so I told them I would have a good excuse to make another. Pictures aren't very good, the background is black and the stitching is gold (denim thread). Thanks for looking .

Beautiful!!! thanks for sharing!

Wow! That is beautiful!! Is it machine embroidered or all by hand?

very nice. That is really sweet of your kids to respect your hobby that they would worry about ruining something.

Absolutely beautiful. Love Sashiko. It is so "organized".

A very handsome piece of work. The sashiko is beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

I can see why they are hesitant to let dogs on this beauty. As much as I love my pets, would also not want something this special to be damaged. This is truly art.

That's beautiful. Love the stitching on each block

It's fabulous, too bad we can't see some details.

Very pretty! :D:D:D
