Sashiko Mug Rug


I finished a little sashiko project that I started a long time ago.  It was just a little practice piece that I bordered and lightly quilted with a puffy batting. 


The solid fabric in the center that holds the needlework is called Essex.  It's 50% linen and 50% cotton.  The weave is a bit looser than flat cotton, so it's nice to work with.  The large sashiko needle and thick thread glide between the threads.  The border is Japanese Indigo fabric. 


I love my little mug rug.  Perfect for a drink and a little snack.

I carry Sashiko supplies and Essex fabric on my website, along with some patterns and books.  HERE
