Theone hour sashiko workshop project for this year's Grosvenor Quilt Shows (Edinburgh, Exeter, Sandown Park, Harrogate in September and Malvern's October show) is a Japanese kamon crest in sashiko - how to transfer the design and stitch it, plus tips on how to get your designs in the first place.
I decided to use a variation on the classic paulownia (kiri) crest, adapted from an antique tsusugaki panel. The leaf veins in this design are particularly interesting to stitch. The panel is 25cm (93/4in) square, a good size for using as a cushion centre or bag panel.
You need to book on the day at the show (there's no advance booking). I hoped to get a variety of fabric colours available but for its first outing all the fabric is the same colour - a light blue.
