Today was our turn to have Diana Turner visit to give us some instruction on 'Sashiko' embroidery/ quilting. Diana gave us an insight into this ancient art, she also explained what a learning curve it has been for her.
We were given the choice of fabric, cotton thread, and patterns. Choices, choices, choices, we were so very well behaved when it came to our turn to choose.....all lined up and took our turn. The fun then began and we all set about creating our first 'sashiko' work of art.

Thank you so much Diana, it was another great afternoon. Think we should now have a competition to see who can make something from their embroidered piece, cushion, pincushion, wall hanging, or even for the brave a quilt.
Looks like you all had a great afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI would recommend Diana to any local group looking for a workshop, she does some exquisite work.
