Sashiko (刺し子, literally "little stabs") is a form of decorative reinforcement stitching (or functional embroidery) from Japan. Traditionally used to reinforce points of wear, or to repair worn places or tears with patches, this running stitch technique is often used for purely decorative purposes in quilting and embroidery. (Wikipedia)
Diana taught this technique on a little bonnet kit from Wendy Schoen. The back of the bonnet has a flower outlined with a running stitch with a bullion bumble bee in the center. The front edge of the bonnet has Sashiko embroidery in a scalloped pattern with lace on the edge. A ribbon rosette of silk ribbon is used to attach the silk ribbon ties. Diana completed the ensemble above which is on display at The Stitchin' Post in Little Rock.
