Anna posted a fantastic slide show of pictures from Bev King's class yesterday. For anyone interested in learning the technique of Sashiko Quilting, we plan to offer the class again in the Fall 2011 Class Schedule (look for it in your mailbox in August!)
Thank you Anna!

I have been eagerly waiting for "Quilting -- Line + Color" to arrive. I had
seen the cover in advertisements. It is truly a beautiful book by Yoshiko
Jinzenji. Today I had a chance to try out one of the projects in the book
and quilt it. I used a 3" grid incorporating prints from the new "Cloud 9"
organic fabric line that just arrived.
To quilt the pillow top I layered it on "white" thin batting and machine
quilted straight lines 1/4" apart. There is no backing, just quilting through
the top and batting. For a pillow top, this cuts down on the bulk. I used the
edge of my presser foot for a guide.
Now I am all excited to make a table runner with the same technique but make
the background color a shade of gray or green....I will keep you posted.
