Description:

From the Japanese word for running stitch (literally, "little stabs"), sashiko is an ancient Japanese hand-quilting technique that has evolved into a versatile method for creating complex stitched designs on fabric items. Sashiko and Beyond explains the techniques involved, then carefully diagrams 16 traditional sashiko designs, followed by instructions for 15 appliqué and patchwork designs. A selection of 12 projects rounds out the discussion, with instructions, photos, and diagrams for place mats, pillows, wall hangings, clothing, and other items. The lovely sashiko patterns range from abstract geometrics loosely derived from natural forms such as tree bark, leaves, waves, and shells to more realistic images of flowers, butterflies, and fans.
