I needed a quiet day today. So I took it. I gathered together some navy linen (all layered up and spray basted), needles, a hera marker, a ruler and an IKEA glass.
Inspired by similar stitching I have seen on the Internet I sewed, quietly, happily. It's a good start on one of my Christmas projects I need to crack on with.
As per normal the colour in the photos is crap. But otherwise I am pleased with my accomplishments this morning. You?
Susan
I am very pleased with your accomplishments - it is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWow, Susan, that is beautiful! Ooh, I think I might need to have a go at that, do you use a special sashiko needle or just a regular one?
ReplyDeleteR x
Beautiful! What is it going to morph into?
ReplyDeletegorgeous as ever I have been going circle crazy hand quilting a baby quilt! x
ReplyDeleteLovely, as always! : )
ReplyDeleteOh, that is really lovely. Every time I see sashiko I think I must give it a go because I can hand stitch easily even when feeling poorly. I never do though because the call of the yarn is too much for me to resist!
ReplyDeleteOoo, very cool! I am quite jealous of your perle cotton supply... And can you please slow down with new posts? I am having trouble staying up to date with leaving comments.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I have an order of perle coming from Cindy and holidays coming too, I might have to play some too.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Susan! A very productive morning indeed.
ReplyDeleteYep I'm pleased with your accomplishments. :-) You have very even stitching.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant excuse for buying all those colours Susan!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what this becomes. Your stitches are so perfect!

ReplyDeleteDroolworthy multi-coloured stitching.
ReplyDeleteI am as pleased as a person can be with the fact that I rose and came to work today... But your work is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI imagine this to be quite the restful craft?
ReplyDeleteOooooh those circles look lush.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea.
Me - I have been at work rushing around like a mad woman trying to fit in a full time amount to part time hours!
I love it, I was thinking the other day to buy some thread from Cindy and try a Shashiko project. I think I am convince now.
ReplyDeleteLooks fab, and so glad that linen wasn't gathering any dust ;o)
ReplyDeleteThey look fabulous. Very even and neat.
ReplyDeleteYour desing is fantastic - you make it look so easy...as for my accomplishments thus morning, well I am out of bed and reading blogs instead of getting ready for work, so i think that just about sums it up!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I'm pleased with your achievements too. Marvellous! x
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased with your accomplishments too! Can't say the same about mine! Can I use the excuse of 38 degrees here today... 38 Celsius!
