TGIFF - Alison Glass Stitch Club

Have you joined the Alison Glass Stitch Club?  I'm playing along.  For June's project, we learned abut kantha style embroidery.


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. 😉

    Congrats on your finish, Anja! It looks like a great size for trying something new. Will there be more of these in your future?

    Lovely, colorful quilt. I made my first Kantha stitched piece last year and I think I might be addicted.

    It will certainly brighten up a table. Looks like you achieved nice even stitches. I want to try that soon.
