Debby had been trying her hand at Sashiko having chanced upon some books about the subject and tuned in to an online workshop 'Zen Stitching, The Art of Mindful Mending' An interesting fact is although running stitch is used 'Yokogusi',in Sashiko it is not pulled tight so that it lays flat whereas the same stitch in Kantha creates ripples in the fabric because of the tension created.Many of the stitches are given descriptive names such as 'rice stitch' and' falling rain'
Following on from the success of her embroidered beret she has been working on a few more to have on sale for the www.North Bristol Arts Trail.org.You can find her at Venue 46 from Saturday 27th -Sunday 28th November. It looks like being a super event as they are celebrating 20 years!
