I'm working on 2 different Sashiko projects. I do that with most of my hand work (knitting, Sashiko, quilting, etc). I like to keep from getting bored. :-)
One of my projects is Sylvia Pippen's Chinese Bird Series. I did the owls last month and just recently finished the albatross. This series is pre-printed on the fabric so it's super easy to stitch over it. A very relaxing project. I'm not sure yet how I will use them. When I'm finished stitching the whole series, they will most likely become the focus blocks of a quilt. In the meantime, I'm just enjoying the process.
And close-ups:
Hemp Leaf
Seven treasures
Mountains
Overlapping Diamonds
I'm far from at expert at this, but since I believe that "practice makes perfect" (or at least it makes you better), I started this sampler to improve my skills. So far, I think it's working. I improve with each block.
