Sashiko - Flag Runner





At the Maine quilt show I saw patterns called Sashiko by Pat. Of course they were displayed with beautiful Japanese fabrics. I purchased this one Chrysanthemum part of the Circle Series. It is just a basic running stitch. A no-brainer...I really enjoyed the process and then I added the stitches 1/4" from edge and framed it with some material from my stash.









This is a a Flag Table Runner. A friend did it and I just liked the look of it and had the material in my stash. I did everything on the machine except for the buttons. I took 2 buttons ...a beige and a star red button and put them together.








This was a challenge for me...I am a quilter at heart and usually find projects like this challenging. But, nevertheless I finished it and I like it hanging better than as a table runner...Farmyard Creations...Karla Eisenach 2001
