The feedback, “It is fortunate to take your class”, is the best reward I can get in the workshop. I teach stitching, but I ask not to stitch. I teach how to speed up their stitching, but I ask them to slow down. One result of Sashiko is being mindful,…

We do everything we can to prioritize the health and safety of our customers & people we see. Then, we try to keep our days as ordinary as possible. It is scary to see the spreading, but panicking will not resolve the situation either. ☆ I have Sashiko workshops planned…

I learned a lot in Sashiko & Modern Quilt can share a lot in common. At the same time, I found some interesting differences as well. PLEASE do not misunderstand here. I am not talking about which is good or bad. Both are good. ☆ In watching many quilts, in…
