Let an expert teach you the traditional craft of Japanese country quilting, “the perfect simple, low-cost hobby to get you off your phone” (Slate). Sashiko, the traditional Japanese technique of needlework quilting, uses a simple running stitch to create beautiful patterns ideal for patchwork, quilting, and embroidery. Sashiko, pronounced shash-ko, means “stab stitch” and refers to the small running stitch that is worked to build up hundreds of distinctive decorative patterns. This book begins by exploring the origins of the technique: to strengthen clothes and to make them warmer. The “Getting Started” section describes everything you need to begin stitching, including selecting suitable fabrics and threads, marking out patterns on the fabric, as well as the stitching technique itself. Ten project chapters show how easy it is to use sashiko patterns to make beautiful items for the home. The sashiko patterns are described in step-by-step detail in the pattern library, showing you exactly how to achieve each individual pattern with ease. Finally, a gallery of work by contemporary Japanese textile artists provides extra inspiration. “A book I would suggest anyone getting started with sashiko would benefit from having in their library . . . Susan Briscoe writes with an obvious fondness for Japanese culture.” —The Ardent Thread

Some of the most fascinating and beautiful quilts in the world today are being made in Japan, and interestingly enough, the tremendous popularity of quilting there can be traced back to a famous collection of American quilts that toured major Japanese cities in 1976. Japanese needleworkers were, of course, impressed by the wonderful graphic designs in the Holstein collection, but they were especially attracted to the lovely old fabrics and the use of scraps. The Japanese have traditionally cherished old fabrics, and the idea of creating something artistic and useful from scraps appealed to the love and use of color and design that is paramount in their culture.
