Sashiko rice bag
Sashiko is a Japanese form of embroidery, originally used to darn worn garments.
A sampler of quilting, appliqué and embroidery.
This cushion design was adapted from a tapestry chart by Wendy Hope-Faulkner of One Off Needlework in the Jane Greenoff magazine “Stitch That”. I love the angels. The embroidery was stitched into a purchased cushion cover.
Gingerbread men made from purchased felt. Waistcoats made from Christmas print cotton fabric. Height about 12cm.
Stitched during the sea days during the 2020 Round the World cruise.The itinerary was changed drastically due to The Coronavirus pandemic so the scheduled visit to the Great Barrier Reef didn’t happen but, Jan, the craft tutor had already planned the activity. Each sea day she taught us new stitches to add to the embroidery.
