I enjoy working on a bit of sashiko in the evenings, or on the go. This was a project Kaela had started in Japan (pattern and materials from Blue and White), and I came across it the other day and finished it.
It's just a simple whatnot, in the style of a furoshiki.
I backed it with a nice piece of tenugui, and quilted it very simply. Bound it with cheddar. Voila!
Now that it is finished, do you get to keep it? I don't think it is going to be used as a furoshiki.
ReplyDeleteJulie - ha ha, true! Yes I think I will keep this one!
DeleteI love to discover different works and yours is so beautiful !
ReplyDeleteDo you insert any batting like in a quilt ?
Cecile - thank you! Yes, in this case, I did use batting - an extra piece of Quilters Dream cotton batting.
Deletewhat a pretty piece. the backing fabric is lovely and a good light compliment to the front. I've never tried this. maybe one day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I enjoy doing the odd Sashiko piece--making a quilt right now with sashiko blocks alternating with simple pieced blocks using Japanese fabrics....
