Sashiko Boro with Alice Ridge



This is a Japanese Sashiko and BORO class.  Meld these classic ancient styles of hand stitching and mending together to create a lovely quilted piece.

Sashiko is the art of hand stitching patterns and designs into cloth. Boro is the Japanese art of building a quilt from patches of fabric layered on top of a batting and then hand stitching them together.  The tradition grew from mending woven blankets or covers by layering patches of new cloth over the worn area and then reinforcing the area or whole cloth by using large sashiko stitching.  Fun and Freeform.

Let Alice take you down the rabbit hole of more beautiful and relaxing hand stitching.  


minimum sign up for this class is 6.

I have been a Traveling Quilt Teacher and Speaker for quite a few years now. My husband was Active Duty Army for 35 years, and we moved 22 times during his career.
