I had hoped to get this little wallhanging completed before leaving for New Zealand. That hasn't happened but I thought I'd share my progress with you.
I've finished the sashiko-style quilt stitching and am appliqueing (is there such a word?) marbled green bias tape to suggest reeds.
My 5 year old grandson, Wills, saw it tonight and pronounced it "pretty" and then "like a meadow with different heights of grass" - I'll take that thank you Wills!

Kids are just great! An he's right: it looks very spring-like and your sashiko looks lovely to me!!

ReplyDeleteI love it with Sashiko stitching. Glad you show us before you take off. I had eye candy last night of the pics from Tokyo Qiilt Festival at Jan's blog here is her link: http://bemused.typepad.com/photos/tokyo_quilt_festival/index.html Thought you might like to see - Have a safe trip Down under - Hugs Nat
ReplyDeleteYour sashiko-style stitching is really neat and gives the effect of water very well! I'd love to have a go at sashiko sometime.
ReplyDeleteIf you want an honest opinion - ask a child!
