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.

Instructor Bio: | I have been quilting for over 40 years. I love all types of quilting, from traditional handwork to modern, and art quilts. I have explored Japanese Sashiko, Korean Pojagi, Celtic Knotwork, and English Paper Piecing, Hawaiian Applique, Guatemalan Embroidery. I love them all! ?? 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. Now that he’s retired and we have our ‘forever home’, I travel around the US giving Trunk Shows and Workshops. When I’m not teaching and speaking, I travel internationally to learn more about the many, many different types of quilting and needlework techniques around the world. |
