Sashiko rice bag
Sashiko is a Japanese form of embroidery, originally used to darn worn garments.
designed by Gail Lawther, stitched during lockdown 2, November 2020
Christmas tree decoration made from hand made felt, decorated with sequins.
I adapted a cross stitch design from “De fil en aiguille” Hors-Serie, Campagne to make this cushion. I loved the designs of the cups and bowls. The embroidered panel was set into a purchased cushion cover.
I stitched these coasters whilst on board P&O Arcadia during the second half of the world cruise. The itinerary was drastically changed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The craft group met daily during the 31 sea days from Fremantle, Australia, to Southampton.
