"Provides fairly easy projects. A good selection... on a topic of increasing interest."-Library Journal. Editorial Reviews Sashiko is traditional Japanese quilting, usually done in white running stitch on indigo fabric. Machine-stitched sashiko has a somewhat different appearance but is just as striking. The emphasis in this book is on patterns that may be continuously stitched across the fabric without stopping to tie off. Parker, a teacher of sashiko workshops, provides a dictionary of continuous patterns, instructions for successful stitching, and a sections of fairly easy projects for pillows and table linens. A good selection for public libraries on a topic of increasing interest to American stitchers. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.\ - Library Journal |
