This absolutely amazing quilt was pieced by Shelley H, Newark, DE. Shelley had seen samples of my quilting online and we corresponded for a while about her quilt. She sent the quilt to me for quilting.

There were so many photos of this quilt that I made a separate page to show them all.

This quilt was quilted by Caryn G, ND, who wrote in an email,

"I finished the quilt using both of your rulers this was a king size quilt I used the 3 inch for sashiko circles on the main body of the quilt and the 4 inch Ying yang for the boarders. Just a little over 18 hours, don't mind saying I am tired of circles but I think it looks amazing.

My mother made the quilt So when I quilt for her I have the freedom to experiment and I saw what you had done and love the rulers so I thought I would try it on that quilt, so thanks to you and your video and all the helpful hints it help to make the quilt so nicely done."

I have to add - JOB WELL DONE!!! The quilt - and your quilting - is amazing!

Sashiko Circle Size Comparison

Here is a comparison of size of the Circles in the background behind appliqué.

I pieced this quilt and then quilted each appliqué with a different size of circles with the Sashiko Circles template.

As you look at the photos, notice the change in size of the circles and how it relates to the appliqué block.

Christmas Wreaths

Quilt pieced and quilted by Cindy Roth, Kent, WA.

I had pieced this quilt many years ago and just couldn't find the "right" quilting pattern for it. When I began working with the Sashiko templates I felt that this quilt would be a good candidate for Sashiko.

The background is quilted using the 3 inch Sashiko Stars template with Gold #1725 Madeira High Sheen Poly thread for a more festive look.

Many times people will say "I don't like Asian quilts, why would I want to learn how to do Sashiko?" I then show them this quilt. It is not Asian and the Sashiko looks great on it!
