The project started out as a pillow cover, but quickly turned into a placemat.
It's basically a big running stitch. I used a few colours of perle cotton.
I didn't finish the edges with a whipstitch. This piece has been sitting on my coffee table for weeks, waiting to be finished...so I just machine stitched around the edges for a quick finish.
July's project is sashiko. I purchased a sashiko kit from Red Thread Studio at QuiltCon 2020 but haven't had a chance to work on it. Time to get stitching -- there's orange thread. 😉

I would have been surprised if there wasn't orange thread..lol Have fun stitching!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your finish, Anja! It looks like a great size for trying something new. Will there be more of these in your future?
ReplyDeleteA bright and happy placemat! And oooh, I'm excited to see the sashiko and orange thread. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely, colorful quilt. I made my first Kantha stitched piece last year and I think I might be addicted.
ReplyDeleteIt will certainly brighten up a table. Looks like you achieved nice even stitches. I want to try that soon.
ReplyDeleteSuper nice and happy placemat! And of course, it's got orange thread! :-)
ReplyDeleteNice and bright!
ReplyDeleteVery nice placemat, I really like the big stitches using matching thread.
