Diana Turner came this evening to show how to "Sashiko" - (Not the dance). We were provided with the Japanese fabric and thread before she told us a little of the history of this style of stitching. Diana also very kindly gave us a copy of Susan Briscoe's "Sashiko" book for our library.

We all had a very pleasant and relaxed evening and are looking forward to Diana coming to our Monday meeting in a couple of weeks. Maybe we will have some finished items to show off then. Here's hoping!
It looks as if everyone enjoyed themselves ,something for Monday gals to look forward to.
