Have You Heard Of Sashiko Qiulting?

By Jane Green


Patchwork quilts come in each size and form, so it should be no surprise when you come across new methodologies and styles when it comes to quilts.

I have been looking into a more obscure sort of quilting called Sashiko quilting. This is a type of quilting that originates from Japan. "Sashiko" itself literally interprets into "little stabs" talking about the stitching style used in the procedure.
It was initially used to fix tears and worn out parts of a quilt, but over time has turned into a unique quilting style. This is a hand stitching process that uses the thread itself to stitch a pattern or mural into the quilt.

The good news is that some stores are selling Sashiko patterns and materials, saving you the tediousness and time intensive task of hand weaving your own patterns, although I would still suggest stitching your own you are going that way.

The better news is that some stores are selling Sashiko patterns and materials, saving you the tedium and time labour intensive task of hand weaving your own patterns, though I might still suggest sewing your own mural if you're going for that design.

This design really makes for a interesting and gorgeous design for any patchwork quilt, however there's a decent level of talent involved in getting it exactly right so its definitely not something for somebody new to

If you are getting bored of making the same types of patchwork quilts or are just searching for a challenge, you may want to check out Sashiko designs. It might just be what you have been looking for.
