Alongside my Quilting, Kantha, and Needle Felting I haven't forsaken my Sashiko.
Yesterday I finished a piece and made it into a bag to hold pressies for a friend   [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

That's lovely Lowena.  Is that a variegated thread or is it my computer screen / eyes?
Life's too short for ironing.

Thank you girls. It's different shades of Perle no8 threads @Ploshkin  I thought there would be a greater contrast between them, but, I guess I'll label the colour changes as "subtle"  :D

Lovely work, Lowena.

I bought myself a Sashiko kit to try... (from the Festival of Quilts  :))... after seeing the cushion you made earlier this year, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

It's quite addictive @Sandra  as is Kantha . I think it's because they look deceptively easy
