Before I get back to pink Sew Powerful purses, I have been wanting to try a raw-edge Sashiko project using a pile of shot cottons that don't seem to be going anywhere. (and yes, I know how much these loosely-woven cottons will fray). Latifah Saafir's talk at the Chicago MQG yesterday on creativity was the perfect push to get busy. A few months ago I wanted to replicate this quilt that I love so much. So I made a smaller template, got started, and then became distracted. Meanwhile, I have been missing working on a hand project. These 4" by 8" shot cotton bricks have been laid out on a scrap of wool batting. Grey No 8 Perle cotton. I'm ready to stitch. After I do a couple of purses. Stay tuned...
