Sashiko is actually a mending technique, so I thought I would give it a try on one of my daughter’s ripped up jeans. I think it came out pretty well, don’t you? Would you like to learn Sashiko? I am teaching at Dabble and Stitch on Sunday, January 20. Head to their website or call the store to register. I hope to see you there!! #Sashiko #sashikoembroidery #sashikostitch #sashikostitching #handsewing #handquilting @dabbleandstitch #columbusohio

Pictures do not do justice to the elegance of the tote bag I just finished for the #modawoolychallenge I used a 5 weight Sue Spargo Wonderfil variegated thread to embroider a Sashiko design. Sections of the design were cut out to allow the deep purple batik lining show through. A silver leaf and purple beads hang in each cut out, sewn in with Wonderfil Invisifil thread. The back of the tote stays simple with a single line of the design through the center. Hopefully this entry makes it through. The online form wouldn’t upload my photos so I had to email it in. 🤞🤞 There are some beautiful creations on the hashtag, so check it out. Mine doesn’t quite seem to go along with what you normally see on wool, but that’s what makes me me. #modawoolychallenge #wonderfilspecialtythreads #wonderfil #sashiko #sashikoembroidery #sashikostitch #sashikostitching #handsewing #handquilting #woolyfeltedwonders #showmethemoda

Are you interested in learning Sashiko? I am teaching a class on Sashiko on Sunday, January 20 from 1-4 at Dabble in Stitch in Columbus, Ohio. Head to Dabble and Stitch’s website to register.

In 2018 I joined a bee for the first time ever. I have to say, it was a lot of fun and I met a really nice group of ladies. I did discover that Bees aren’t for me. Sadly, I couldn’t seem to get my butt to the post office to mail out on time. These three blocks have been ready and hanging on my design wall for about 6 weeks and I finally mailed them today. My deepest apologies to @debrasander @lindabick and @rose_chirkin These are all on their way to their new homes.

Happy News from my Sister! Bear was found exploring the dog food aisle. Thank you @walmart1977 to all there who helped this rapscallion get home again.

New Year and New Quilt Labs!! I will be hosting these once a month at Dabble and Stitch. New for this year, I will be doing small demos on projects I am working on in addition to answering any quilting questions you may be having. First up for this Wednesday, January 9 is how I baste my quilts. The tools I use are hiding in the picture above. No registration is needed for Quilt Lab, there is a $10 drop in fee. @dabbleandstitch
