How are yours going? Any good ideas? Are we keeping it a secret until it’s finished? 🎁🦒 @Maria Hirose @Jen Toll @LeAnn Sagel

Coming this Sunday evening 8pm EST time is the first online zoom workshop. If you are interested on learning basic needle painting, please purchase the needle painting lesson here. You’ll then get the zoom link to the online workshop. The lesson includes the necessary items you’ll need for the lesson. I’ll eventually upload the pattern for it. No worries it’s really easy! Very beginner level. Comment if you want in! (Also ignore the time in the photo since it’s for the Tokyo time zone)

I made this for @Jen Toll because she likes sashiko and boro style. All of it is hand sewn. I used leftover fabric and hand dyed sashiko threads from Kanazawa. I can send it happily in an envelope. It’s a coaster 🙂

I embroidered this caterpillar to cover up an old logo on my partner’s vest, as well as patch to cover a small hole she made when trying to pick out the old machine embroidery. I was going to use a decorative stitch on the white fabric as a kind of border, but now I’m thinking I want to eliminate the white altogether. Any thoughts?

I’m going on a retreat with some friends that I organized this weekend. So I’ll be a bit busy. I’ll catch up with everyone when I can. But the Sunday evening call is still on! While I’m out feel free to share your goods and stories. I’m looking forward to seeing them!
