This is my first attempt at Sashiko, the pattern was printed on the fabric, so seemed pretty easy. I needed to make a birthday gift for a secret sister and this is it. I'm happy with how it turned out. I hope she will like it. My DH likes turtles, so keeping it secret from him was a bigger challenge. Now I need to start another one for him and keep it a secret again.....whew can I do it again???
Here is the fabric I put on the back, I'm so proud of the zipper. I hadn't done a zipper with a flap for so many years.
Now back to regular quilting, I have a Xmas quilt to add borders.
Happy Quilting!
Oh, I love your turtle pillow!! I know your secret sis will love it too!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love turtles! Great pillow! When I read your title I thought turtle stitching might be like frog stitching~ so happy to see it isn't! LOL
ReplyDeleteMy son's girlfriend loves turtles too! I'll have to remember this one. Love the backing...looks like the ocean where a turtle would swim.
ReplyDeleteThe sashiko turtle is wonderful. Love it on the blue fabric.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out really cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! The turtle looks fabulous .
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Wendy. Sashiko gives such a good result.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to learn how to do that too!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love doing Sashiko? It is so quick and easy and very relaxing. I love your turtle and the beautiful blue background. I am currently backing a Sashiko table runner and about to do a back panel I bought.
ReplyDeleteso pretty. I have not tried sashiko before.
ReplyDeleteLove that turtle pillow! Your secret sis will, too.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite surprising... I have never heard of that before reading your post!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me quite puzzled and angry too!
