Today I followed a workshop Sashiko by
Irene Outshoorn at the Quilterspalet in The Hague. I had a fantastic afternoon, and this really is technique I want to learn more about, and practise more. It's not very complicated, but to make regular stitches, that's not always easy. Sashiko is a
japanese quilting/sewing technique. Originally it's white thread on a indigo-blue fabric. It was used to make clothes stronger, or to decorate. Especially in the little villages each family had his own favorite patterns. If you want to read more about it, there is a very good book translated in dutch from Susan Briscoe, it's called Sashiko Handboek / The ultimate Sashiko Source book. Instead of blue indigo fabric, I used a brown japanese fabric.

Dat moet een hele leuke workshop geweest zijn. Mijn quiltmaatje Ingeborg was er ook en was gisteravond al heel ijverig mallen aan het maken (tot groot plezier van haar kat die er met onderdelen vandoor wilde gaan :-). Heb je mijn e-mail ontvangen?
Very nice. You can teach me when you get here, please. M.
