Tuesday, January 19, 2010
Program: The program will be a hands-on stitching program on sashiko, a Japanese quilting technique. Kits will be $3, with design already transferred to a Japanese cotton fabric, and the heavy thread used in sashiko. The finished item may be made up as a small pillow or purse, as an ornament or as a portion of a crazy quilt. Photos will be in the next newsletter so you can order a kit if you are interested.Stitch of the Month: This month we will be investigating the running stitch and some of the many ways it can be varied. A small solidly stitched embroidery made entirely with running stitch variations will be shown. It is a very useful stitch and was in all likelihood the first stitch worked by cave women. I’m sure you know the running stitch, but this way of doing it will probably speed up your embroidery and hand sewing.
Challenge: Share anything you completed from a previous EGA program, course, workshop, or seminar in the 25 years of PAC.

We will explore the differences between these two stitches and how they are used in different applications. These stitches are used in clothing construction, shadow embroidery and temari.
