A question within myself. What is the difference between Quilting and Sashiko? T

atsushijp, 2020年2月17日

A question within myself. What is the difference between Quilting and Sashiko? Toward I am spending as much time as possible learning the Quilting. ☆
Quilting and Sashiko have a lot of similarities. “How to enjoy fabric” is a universal language in between Quilting & Sashiko. One (possible) significant difference will be that quilters have a specific design as their blueprint. They have a destination when they start the project – very beautiful design and theme. They cut fabric nicely and beautifully, then stitch together. (Forgive me if my understanding of quilting is incorrect.) ☆
Sashiko also requires a process of cutting fabric, of course. However, including myself, many Sashiko artisans prefer, “Not-cutting-the-fabric” process. If there is a choice, I prefer using the fabric as is. Some of the Boro we make, we try to use the fabric as is – with less cutting the fabric. It is difficult to explain logically, it is more like a feeling. Again, it is not about good or bad. The quilting I find is so beautiful, and I will enjoy the Quiltcon. I am excited to learn more, and happy to share my culture in a festival of quilting.

今週末のイベントに向けて、少しでも(付け焼き刃とは承知しつつ)キルティングの知識を学ぼうとしています。機能性と装飾性。刺し子とキルティング。キルト芯を入れる等、違いはあるけれど、決して相敵対するものではないと思っています。「キルティング」と検索すると、「キルティング加工された商品」が出てきて、「キルト」と検索すると、僕がイメージしているキルト作品が出てきます。
☆
似ているキルトと刺し子ではありますが、違いもあるような気がします。其の一つに「布を切る」という作業。キルトは完成図(デザイン)に合わせて、布を切る作業がとても大切だと感じました。刺し子はどうか……。確かに現代において布を切ることは大切で、僕達も切るには切るのですが、正直「あまり切りたくない」というのが本心です。布、切るんですよ。でも、切らなくて良いのであれば切らないという選択肢を選びたい。昔から「切りたくない」と言っていた職人さんの言葉を聞いてきたからなのか、はたまた……。なので、僕らが作る襤褸も、それほど完成図があるわけじゃないんです。この違いは、興味深い話として伝えられるかなぁと思っています。どちらも素晴らしい文化です。

Since my childhood, I haven’t considered my Sashiko as “masterpiece” or even “proficient Sashiko”. There are reasons behind my perception of why, but I won’t explain it here as it will be long. Therefore, I call myself Sashiko Story-Teller instead of Sashiko Master. I wasn’t “allowed” to teach Sashiko until…

When it comes to teaching, I may have a very high standard of “responsibility”. As I mentioned in the previous post, “Teaching” has become Entertainment – and what my students expect of me may not be as high as I imagine. However, as my own standard, I make myself to…

About 15 years ago, when I applied Sashiko to my favorite denim back then, the Sashiko Artisans surrounding me gave me strange looks. It was rare to have harsh criticism from them, yet it was another moment that I realized I was a “”maverick” in the tradition. Since then, I…

    Interesting musings. I think regardless of which process we choose to work with stepping back to look at our methods is a rewarding part of our learning for future

    Hello, I hope to meet you at QuiltCon. Have you seen Calamanco whole-cloth quilts? You may find them interesting. Early American quilts didn’t use as many pieces and some quilters still make this style.

    In quilting, the goal is for the length of the stitches to be the same on both top and bottom.. Sashiko stitches are longer on the front as compared to the back.
