I had three sashiko classes one after the other at the end of last week. The first was the beginning of the Yuza and Shonai Sashiko course at Kaleidoscope near Glasgow.
The second was at The Peacock and the Tortoise in Perth - Introduction to Shonai Sashiko.
This course introduces several hitomezashi (one stitch sashiko) patterns briefly.
Carol started making a sampler with yellow thread on brown, going for a retro look, and had made some cushion panels with her squares from our earlier workshop there.
The final class was at Edinburgh Patchwork, where we had the first session of the Yuza and Shonai Sashiko course, the same one we are doing at Kaleidoscope.
Here's a selection of the variations on rice stitch and other patterns that were made.
As well as the workshops, I got the 'Cinnabar and Nutmeg' frame quilt ready for Today's Quilter magazine.
It has now gone away for photography, so we can't use it at home for a while! I want to add a lot more quilting when it comes back too. It will be a very cosy quilt to use.
