I love your Sashiko Bunnies, they're way cute, have seen sashiko in suares and quarter circles But never before as a semi pictorial, I love it :P are you going to do some more and put them tog? Just what we all need another addictive hobby :lol:

Yvonne, that's beautiful! I would love to try that, will have to look at my favorite shop for it!

You do such wonderful, beautiful work....how did the applique go?

Sharon

Oh so cute!!!! Is the border material printed or did you "sashiko" that too??

Any good sashiko books or sites on line you could recommend?

Sharon,
Haven't started the applique. Frozen by the unknown! I just can't make myself start. sigh! Today! I'm going to get it going today! really!!!

ShellyQ, This is going to be a little 'stand alone' wall hanging. I have ordered a few more projects to make so I'll be able to hang them together. I just need a wall!

Patsy, The border is a batik that I just happened to buy last spring. When I started looking for an appropriate fabric for this project it just leaped out and hollered, "Me! Me! Me!" And it was right! :lol:

Steve, I've not read any books. I just jumped in and started working on this. Marcella may be able to recommend a book. She's better about researching stuff than I am.

And to everyone, Thank you for the sweet words. Most appreciated! Time to go get some applique started!

I'd be more than happy to loan you one of mine!! ;) I wouldn't mind displaying your pretty work in my home. :D

Beautiful embroidery work, I really like the bunny design.

This very pretty but what is Sashiko??

The above sites give you a little history on sashiko. It's basically a form of embroidery using a running stitch. Sylvia Pippen has some gorgeous designs.
